The Forgotten Rainforests of Scotland

Hidden along Scotland’s misty western coast, an ancient world thrives—one that few have seen and even fewer truly understand. Scotland’s temperate rainforests are among the rarest ecosystems on Earth, a delicate balance of towering trees, vibrant mosses, and life that has persisted for millennia. These woodlands are not just landscapes; they are living, breathing time capsules, whispering stories of a past untouched by human hands. Yet, despite their beauty and significance, they remain largely unknown and at risk. Through photography and exploration, I have spent years immersed in these enchanting forests, uncovering their secrets and witnessing their quiet resilience. This is more than a journey into Scotland’s hidden rainforests—it’s a call to protect and preserve one of the country’s most extraordinary natural treasures.
