Landscapes And Lives: The Scottish Forest Through The Ages by John Fowler

Landscapes And Lives: The Scottish Forest Through The Ages by John Fowler

Ancient oakwoods, thickets of shimmering birches or lonely clumps of gnarled Caledonian pine all count among the most atmospheric and inspiring places in Scotland. This is a winning portrait of the forests as we encounter them today, and their part in Scotland's story: from the Ice Age to the great woodlands imagined by the planting Dukes of Atholl and the blanket spruce plantations of the post-war years. Eloquently written with a blend of myth and archaeological evidence, vivid glimpses of the great personalities and a taste of environmental and economic controversies, Landscapes and Lives is a book as rich and memorable as the forests themselves.

A former arts editor of the Herald, John Fowler's travel/hillwalking book Have You Seen the Glories? appeared in 2000, and before that his play Whaur's Yer Willie Wallace Noo? created a small stir on the Edinburgh Fringe. He lives in Linlithgow.
