£390 SOLD


The structure of the Rothiemurchus forest reflects its long history of timber extraction leading to largely segregated age classes that seem to reflect past periods of felling and regeneration. Here. a mix of ages including mature trees 80 - 100 years in age form the closed canopy in the background, while in the foreground is a cleared area of open pine heath. Although clearance here probably dates from World War II, there has been relatively little regeneration because of uncontrolled grazing by red deer.
