Scattered across the Scottish Highlands are the last surviving remnants of the Caledonian forest which have survived, naturally seeding and growing since the last ice age.
With over 25 years experience working on environmental issues, Clifton Bain gives a personal and passionate account of the human interventions that have shaped the ancient pinewoods and on the triumph of their conservation and renewal. Details are provided on how to reach each of the sites, some in the farthest mountain glens and others easily accessed by public transport, with well marked routes and visitor facilities. A journey to the pinewoods offers a natural spectacle alongside a rich cultural heritage, all described in this comprehensive and fully illustrated guide.

Author Biography

Clifton Bain began his career in nature conservation with the RSPB in 1984, having graduated from the University of Aberdeen with an Honours Degree in Zoology. His work gave him the opportunity to study birds and their habitats across the UK and to engage in high level campaigning on climate change and biodiversity. Over the last 10 years he has worked with the IUCN UK Peatland Programme on environmental policy and advocacy to promote the conservation of peatlands. A native of Edinburgh, Clifton lives there with his wife and takes every opportunity to explore nature, particularly in the much-loved Scottish countryside. A keen hill walker and cyclist, he is a passionate believer that encouraging people to enjoy nature for themselves is one of the best tools for conserving wildlife.
