Woodland Walks podcast with Adam Shaw - Loch Arkaig

For the latest episode of the Woodland Walks podcast, I explored the wilderness of Loch Arkaig Pine Forest - one of Scotland's remaining fragments of native Caledonian pinewood. It lies within an iconic landscape of sparkling lochs fringed by mountains, full of rare wildlife and flora.

Over land and loch, I met site manager Steve Morris, raptor expert Lewis Pate, project manager Jessica Maxwell and other custodians of this truly astonishing landscape.
