Writing

I do a lot of writing about rewilding, ecological restoration and the recovery of the Caledonian Forest, as well as on other subjects. The links below lead to some pages with examples of my writing, and more can also be seen by visiting the blog pages here on my website.


  • A Future for Forests
  • A future for Scotland’s forests
  • Aspen – charismatic broadleaved tree of the boreal forests
  • How much do we really know about trees?
  • Introduction to rewilding
  • Life of pine
  • Living like a Forest
  • Loving the world
  • Magic and mayhem in Madagascar
  • Rescuing the Forests: the Challenge of our Times
  • Restoring the Forests – Saving the Planet
  • Restoring the Wild Forest
  • The Dream of the Forest
  • The Forest at the End of the World
  • The New Millennium: A time to celebrate the Earth’s 2000 year old trees
  • The Turning of the Tide

The following links lead to articles I’ve written that feature on other websites:

  • A positive future for beavers in Scotland (March 2017)
  • Aspen: Britain’s missing link with the boreal forest (I was a contributing author to this article)
  • Beavers are still facing an uncertain future in Scotland (February 2021)
  • Camouflage in the Caledonian Forest
  • Decomposition and decay in the Caledonian Forest
  • Ecology of an ungrazed island
  • Goat moth trees
  • Hummocks in the Caledonian Forest
  • Native pinewoods
  • Species profiles for the Caledonian Forest (I wrote 52 profiles about different species in the Caledonian Forest for Trees for Life, which can be accessed here.)

I am happy to be commissioned to write for magazines, journals and books etc, and have recently contributed a chapter for a book entitled Sustainability and the Rights of Nature in Practice that was published in the USA in 2020.

If you would like me to write something for you, please contact me.

Kittiwakes are nesting on the sandstone cliffs of the Moray Coast just now. Between couples exhibiting pair bonding behaviour, single birds advertising their availability & squabbling neighbours at the densely-packed nesting sites, there are a lot of red tongues on display!

I saw, for the first time, an Aedes sp Mosquito feeding on a Box Turtle today. I was thrilled to get a capture!
