Scientific, geographical, and historical analyses are deftly combined in this unique history that will sure be of interest to historians, environmentalists, and conservationists well beyond the confines of Scotland... Recommended., This well-produced book… has been a great pleasure for me to read and, indeed, I wish it had been written years ago so I could have recommended it during my course on Quaternary paleoecology… Every one of the colour plates is appropriate and attractive.…I stress again my admiration of this book.", [Tells] the more fundamental story of trees and woods in our history, in great detail, but always with a firm sense of narrative. It is a tribute not only to the authors' multidisciplinary talents but also to the renaissance of woodland studies north of the border.", An excellent combination of detailed case studies and more general reviews… a particular strength of the book is that it does not deal with these industries in isolation, but shows how the management, felling and regeneration of trees and woodlands was intricately connected with grazing… The careful analysis by the authors of a wide range of sources is exemplary and the results are of great interest and value. Edinburgh University Press should be congratulated for the high production quality, including excellent colour plates, historical photographs, and maps and diagrams. This important book should be required reading for all interested in the economic and environmental history of the woodlands.", An authoritative, readable and attractively illustrated book… it is likely to be a much cited, definitive work for a long time to come., At last the light of scholarship is shed on the subject in this enthralling book... This past has been brilliantly recreated by TC Smout, Alan Macdonald and Fiona Watson, and perhaps we can now say that the importance of Scotland's native woodlands is beginning to be properly recognised., "Scientific, geographical, and historical analyses are deftly combined in this unique history that will sure be of interest to historians, environmentalists, and conservationists well beyond the confines of Scotland...

Synopsis
The first modern history of Scottish woodlands, this highly illustrated volume explores the changing relationship between trees and people from the time of Scotland's first settlement, focusing on the period 1500 to 1920. Drawing on work in natural science, geography and history, as well as on the authors' own research, it presents an accessible and readable account that balances social, economic and environmental factors. Two opening chapters describe the early history of the woodlands. The book is then divided into chapters that consider traditional uses and management, the impact of outsiders on the pine woods and the oakwoods in the first phase of exploitation, and the effect of industrialization. Separate chapters are devoted to case studies of management at Strathcarron, Glenorchy, Rothiemurchus, and on Skye., Drawing on work in natural science, geography and history, as well as on the authors' own research, it presents an accessible and readable account that balances social, economic and environmental factors.
