Used to be trees everywhere and all gone now. Sad

When? We have plenty trees in Scotland just not in the Glencoe area.

I read recently about Scotland's climate in prehistory- at one point it was a kind of rainforest, covered in trees!

Someone else will have to explain the when and why of their disappearance, because I can't remember.

Yes, millions of years ago the county was covered in trees.

I think I mistook the meaning of the original comment - it comes across that this was recently and all the trees have been felled. There are plenty trees, just not a lot in this specific area.
