| General interest in Scottish woodland has a long history, stretching back into the nineteenth century and beyond. In more modern times, both scholars and a general readership have been well served by a number of important forest-related publications including magisterial books on native pinewoods (H. M. Steven & A. Carlisle, The Native Pinewoods of Scotland, Oliver and Boyd, 1959) and medieval hunting forests (J. Gilbert, Hunting and Hunting Reserves in Medieval Scotland, John Donald, 1979). |
