Caledonian Forest, Glen Affric
The Caledonian Forest is an old woodland that once covered much of Scotland. Today, about 1% of the original forest survives. The forests are home to a wide variety of wildlife, much of which is not found elsewhere in the British Isles. There have been trees on this site for up to 8000 years and some of the individual trees (presumably the most twisted and gnarled ones towards the centre of this view) are 350-500 years old. Small wonder it feels special.
