Slattadale
Slattadale Forest is situated beside the western shores of Loch Maree about half way between Gairloch and Kinlochewe, and close to the Ben Eighe National Nature Reserve. The forest is mainly comprised of mixed conifer trees with important pockets of ancient oak and birch woodland. The largest island on Loch Maree (Eilean Ruairidh Mor) is also part of this forest and holds a pristine remnant of ancient Caledonian Pinewood.
