A StoryMap on forgotten woodlands and the clues they leave in the present day.
Coilltean Caillte (Gaelic for 'Forgotten Woodlands') is a partnership project that has mapped over 15,000 Scottish place-names that suggest the presence of woodland. Many of the names appear in areas of ancient woodland, but others lie in open ground. Could these be the locations of long-forgotten woodlands?
