Pine tree in Glenmore Forest Park, Aviemore. Strathspey, Scottish Highlands. XPL 4561-430
Glenmore contains some of the best preserved areas of ancient Caledonian Pine Forest in the country. This type of woodland formerly covered much of Scotland but due to large-scale fellings during the 1st World War and earlier for charcoal, farming and shipbuilding, little of this once vast forest remains. Only about 80 hectares (197 acres) of this pristine Pine, Juniper and Birch woodland survive in Glenmore, though work to restore another 1000 hectares is well underway through the removal of exotic tree species and encouraging native species to regenerate. Loch Morlich (Scottish Gaelic, Loch Mhùrlaig) is a freshwater loch in the Badenoch and Strathspey area of Highland, Scotland. It is part of the Glenmore Forest Park, near Aviemore. The loch is home to a watersports center with kayaking, sailing and windsurfing and trout fishing to name a few of the activities. There is also a yacht club and great cycling routes around the loch with fantastic views. the loch is just a few miles from Aviemore where there is train services daily making the loch easy to get to.
