It’s no secret that Glen Affric is my favourite place on the planet. We’ll come to why, later. Meanwhile, the first in a short series of posts studying the more characterful shapes of trees at the glen.

Up Kinnoull Hill: Nice Trees
Three photos of trees, taken on a stroll up Kinnoull Hill in Perth.
Trees
Pine forests: what’s not to like? Scots Pine trees stand tall and proud, burnished orange-gold catching the sun; birch trees get a bit old and develop gnarly character.
These are from a stroll in the Black Woods of Rannoch, on the south shore of Loch Rannoch.
I noticed Gunnar’s Tree, named for Gunnar Godwin, a chap whose fondness for these woods led him to manage them and agitate for them to be designated a Caledonian Forest Reserve.
Fagus sylvatica
Dog took me for a longer stroll up the road, past Dinvin woods, where we saw some impressive old characterful beech trees waving their limbs about.
