SCOTLAND IS HOME TO SEVERAL STUNNING OAK WOODLANDS. OFTEN REFERRED TO AS CELTIC RAINFORESTS’, THESE OAK ‘ FORESTS ARE HOME TO ABUNDANT FLORA AND ARE IN SOFT LAYERS OF MOSSES. OAK TREES TEND TO LIVE UP TO 500 YEARS BUT THERE ARE SOMESCOTTISH OAK TREES THOUGHT TO BE EVEN OLDER.
Thousands of years ago, the Scottish Highlands were covered in ancient pinewood forest known as the Caledonian Forest. Today only one percent of the original ancient forest remains.
You will find some of the most remarkable trees, the world's highest hedge and Europe's oldest tree. You can get a glimpse of what the Highlands looked like thousands of years ago by visiting National Nature Reserves such as Glen Affric and Loch Maree in the western Highlands.
