Three ages of pine.........


The pine trees here in the foreground are planted and are 7-8 years old. The ones in the middle are granny pines, possibly 250-300 years old. They are a very yellow colour, and are obviously now standing in wetter ground. In the background is South Rannoch Forest, which contains plantation Scots Pine, 50-80 years old, among other species. The trees with the pointed tops are Sitka Spruce.
