Why creeping thistle is a problem in Peterhead
On Peterhead properties, creeping thistle creeping roots spread laterally through pasture and lawns while wind-blown seed infests neighbouring land. Peterhead sits in Aberdeenshire, where river corridors, railway embankments and post-industrial ground give invasive weeds like Japanese knotweed plenty of disturbed soil to colonise. Older housing with long gardens and vacant plots around the town see regular outbreaks, and infestations commonly spread along watercourses and disused rail lines into neighbouring streets.
