Report of the Native Pinewood Managers: Visit to Glen Loy and Glen Mallie 2004

摘要

Glen Loy and Glen Mallie lie just off the Great Glen in Lochaber. From at least the 14th Century, they came under the stewardship of the Camerons of Lochiel - granted by the Lord of the Isles. More is known about the pinewood in Glen Mallie, which probably reflects its greater scale and value. This was recognised as early as 1611, when John Speed referred to many large pine trees (20 inches diameter at 90 feet from the ground) being of interest to Royal Naval surveyors,Walter MacFarlane (circa 1630) described "a wood of fine trees 14 miles in length".
