History of a Scottish Woodland
It is difficult to speak in a country like Scotland of a “natural landscape”, a “natural wood”, or a “natural environment” of any kind if meaning it is unmodified by humans. ... In Scottish context birch, rowan, aspen over 100 years might be ancient in the same way elm, ash, beech over 150, oak over 200, or yew over 300 years are thought of as ancient.
There are three main types of stem that form to give direct evidence of the past history of a tree and the woodland:
Maiden – individual stem that is grown from a seedling or transplant
Coppice – tree cut from ground level with sprouts again
Pollard – tree cut above ground level that shoots from top of a cut stump. ... The increasing peasant population was the most critical feature for ecological changes in history of the 17th and 18th century of the highlands.
