This practical guide explores 365 of Scotland's most scenic, wildlife-rich, and historically significant woodlands. From fragments of Caledonian pine forest to lesser-known wildwoods and urban copses, these woodlands serve as sanctuaries for both wildlife and people. The author highlights the beauty, purpose, history, and ownership of extraordinary sites, ranging from the expansive Forest of Ae, over 10,000 hectares, to the small Halligarth in the Shetland Islands, which is less than a third of a hectare. Some woods feature the tallest or rarest trees, while others are prime spots for observing ospreys, red squirrels, or even marine mammals. Many sites also offer preserved archaeological features, hidden histories, and breathtaking scenery. The guide is organized into 14 regions, each starting with a summary of the area's woodland heritage. It includes details on ownership, designation, area, forest type, and access information, such as grid references and post codes. Accompanied by over 200 stunning photographs and expert maps, this guide is essential for adventurers, ramblers, and wildlife enthusiasts.
