A guide to exploring 365 of Scotland's most scenic, wildlife-rich
and historically significant woodlands. From the precious fragments
of Caledonian pine forest to lesser-known wildwoods and urban
copses, Scottish woodlands offer places of sanctuary, both for
wildlife and for people. In this practical guide, Gabriel Hemery
brings together the beauty, purpose, history, wildlife and
ownership of some of the most extraordinary woodland sites in the
country, from the largest (the Forest of Ae, which covers more than
10,000 hectares) to the smallest (Halligarth in the Shetland
Islands, measuring less than a third of a hectare), and everything
in-between. Some woods are notable for having the tallest or rarest
trees, others are the best places in the country for spotting
ospreys or red squirrels, or even marine mammals; some are known as
the best places to explore preserved archaeological features,
discovering hidden histories or simply enjoying spectacular
scenery. Divided into 14 regions, each beginning with a summary of
the region's woodland heritage, this guide features 365 sites,
including details of ownership, designation, area, forest type, how
to access it (including grid reference, post code and 'what3words'
reference), alongside a description of the site's key features.
Featuring more than 200 stunning photographs of Scotland's plants,
animals and spectacular landscapes and expert region maps to help
guide you to your nearest forest site, this is an essential book
for adventurers, ramblers and wildlife enthusiasts. Wherever you
may be in Scotland, with this guide you will never be far from a
fascinating forest site!
