Скачать или смотреть Relaxing Landscape Photography (Cairngorms Caledonian Pine Forest)

The Caledonian Forest takes its name from the Romans, who called Scotland ‘Caledonia’ meaning wooded heights and covered much of the Highlands and what we know as the Cairngorms National Park today. The Scots pine we see now are directly descended from these first pines that arrived in Scotland following the Late Glacial period around 7,000 BCE and formed the westernmost outpost of the Boreal Forest in Europe.

It is estimated to have reached a maximum coverage of 1.5 million hectares around 5,000 BCE. Then, as the climate became wetter and windier the forest reduced significantly by 2,000 BCE, and from this time onwards human intervention reduced the forest to its current extent.

I explored the Cairngorms National Park during September 2022 for some landscape photography, visiting An Lochan Uaine and Loch Morlich near Glenmore.
