Private Tour: Trossachs and Scotland's Atlantic Rainforest
The Trossachs is home to one of Europe’s rarest ecosystems - Scotland’s Atlantic Rainforest, sometimes called temperate rainforest or Celtic rainforest. This is an ancient oak woodland shaped by Ice Age glaciers, Atlantic moisture, and thousands of years of ecological succession. In this tour, we will take you on a exploration of the Trossachs area, very much focused on a nature experience. We will start our journey in the quiet village of Aberfoyle, where you will learn about the local woodland, plant and tree species, their traditional uses and folklore. We will then take you to Flanders Moss Nature Reserve, where you will be able to take a walk through this ancient peat bog formed thousands of years ago. Next, we will take you on the famous '3 Lochs Drive', highlighting the contrast between the Scottish Atlantic Rainforest and the Spruce introduced as quick timber production. Finally, we will stop over to feed the Scottish Highland Cows, before we take you back to your hotel.
