Loch Maree - a quiet treasure in the West

摘要

In our fourth and final essay to celebrate this Year of Natural Scotland, Bob Dunsmore, retired Conservator from Forestry Commission Scotland, takes us to Wester Ross and Loch Maree. Surrounded by magnificent landscape and unparalleled wildlife Loch Maree lies in a remote north-western corner of the Scottish mainland. Of international importance for its special wildlife and biodiversity, Bob offers a personal narrative of this splendidly iconic example of Scotland's woodlands, weaving in its woodland geography and ecology with his own views and experience dug from the past.
