When you travel to the Scottish Highlands and its islands, you will find that the landscapes are magnificent and beautiful, but you will feel that there is something missing. In the midst of so many mountains, rocks and vast fields, you will not see a single tree. The trees that you will see are either on private property or in an area protected by the Forestry Commission. Only 16% of Scotland has trees. Many people think that this is due to the wet climate, the poor and rocky soil or the cold wind. But they are wrong. The explanation is much more complicated. Understand the history and there is a shortage of trees in the Scottish Highlands, the country without forests!
