Maps are courtesy of Moray and Aberdeenshire Forest District.

One of a series of four maps covering the once separate unit of Aultmore Forest which lies in the old county of Banff between the coastal town of Cullen and Keith. Unfortunately the original planting maps from the Forest have not been located.

This is eastern part of the large area known as Aultmore Forest with Compartments running from 101-180. Much of this area was planted between 1961-1965 reflecting the start of the era of larger ploughing and planting programmes on peatland sites. Much of the area is planted with Lodgepole pine either pure or in mixture with Sitka spruce. Some additional planting in the 1970s has continued in parts of the area.

Areas mention on map cover are:
Rosebank
Clashmadin
Leomand Hill
Deerhill
Balnamoon


Any details about the forest or your work in the forest are very welcome.
