Remnant Caledonian forest in the Allt Easan Stalcair


There was a really impressive woodland growing in this gorge on the Allt Easan Stalcair on Lochs Estate, to the south of Finnart, including aspen and juniper as well as birch , Scots Pine and rowan. Along with willows, these are the main-stays of Caledonian pine forests......and it is unusual to find them all together in one place like this. For anyone interested in pinewoods and associated habitats, this area to the south-west of the Black Wood of Rannoch is well worth a visit.
