Forest and remnant of the Caledonian Forest in Highland (council area), Scotland
Rothiemurchus Forest
Rothiemurchus Forest is a remnant of the Caledonian Forest at grid reference NH9209 near Aviemore, Inverness-shire, Scotland. It is in the Highland region.
The forest is popular for recreation and contains important independent wildlife, including the osprey, Scottish crossbill, capercaillie, crested tit and European wildcat.
Stretching from the River Spey to the high mountain plateau, Rothiemurchus sits within the Cairngorms National Park.
Much of the forest is within the Rothiemurchus Estate, in the ownership of the Grant family since the 1540s. The estate is now owned and managed by Johnnie Grant, 13th Earl of Dysart and 17th Laird of Rothiemurchus, along with his family. The land was also managed by Philippa Grant, Countess of Dysart till September 2022, when she was killed in a road traffic collision.[1] In 2014, Rothiemurchus Upper Forest - covering 2,300 hectares (5,700 acres) - was sold to Forestry Commission Scotland (now Forestry and Land Scotland) for £7.4 million.[2]
