Regeneration
In 1995 the National Trust for Scotland acquired Mar Lodge Estate in the heart of the Cairngorms. Home to over 5,000 species, this vast expanse of Caledonian woodlands, subarctic mountains, bogs, moors, roaring burns and frozen lochs could be a place where environmental conservation and Highland field sports would exist in harmony. The only problem was that due to centuries of abuse by human hands, the ancient Caledonian pinewoods were dying, and it would take radical measures to save them. After 25 years of extremely hard work, the pinewoods, bogs, moors and mountains are returning to their former glory. Regeneration is the story of this success, featuring not only the people who are protecting the land and quietly working to undo the wrongs of the past, but also the myriad creatures which inspire them to do so. In addition, it also tackles current controversies such as raptor persecution, deer management and rewilding and asks bigger questions about the nature of conservation itself: what do we see when we look at our wild places? What should we see?

The Gardens of the National Trust for Scotland
"Since 1945, when it acquired its first garden at Culzean Castle, The National Trust for Scotland has become the country's largest garden owner. Its properties include thirty-five major gardens which are notable for their range and variety, representing the full history of Scottish gardening." "Francesca Greenoak's scholarly but easily accessible text describes each garden in detail and discusses its design and plantings, its history, setting and historical and cultural connections. The Trust's policy for the restoration and conservation of each garden is also explained and details are given of soil and climatic conditions and their influence on the repertoire of plants in gardens of the various regions. The text has been prepared with the full cooperation and assistance of the Trust's gardening staff." "Most of the photographs were specially taken for this book and have never previously been published. There are also historical plans and other material from the archives of the Trust properties, including photographs dating back a century or more showing some of the gardens and their owners in their Edwardian heyday."--BOOK JACKET.
