The Sunart Oakwoods
" ... Strontian is the gateway to a very
different type of country. This is Suaineart ghorm nan darach; green
Sunart of the oaks; one of the very few parts of modern Scotland
where it is possible to form some idea of why it was that oakwoods
seemed so special to the Celts.
Go there, if possible, on one of those brilliantly sunny days which
occur often in the Highlands during May and June. Take in the sights
and sounds and scents of an ancient woodland as it comes into leaf.”
Professor James Hunter CBE, historian,
author and broadcaster.
From "On the Other Side of Sorrow: Nature and People in the
Scottish Highlands" (Mainstream Publishing, 1995)
Discover Sunart for yourself;
sheltered woodlands and windswept moors, sparkling waters and glowering
skies, verdant springs and glowing autumns, a wealth of culture
in a sparsely populated land. Discover how green consciousness
is still a key theme for today's communities as they manage this
precious landscape.
