Did you know that #Scotland has rainforests?
This week I visited the Cowal Peninsula on the west coast to see one of the last few remaining temperate #rainforests, Glenan Wood.
This 146-hectare, community-owned oakwood at Portavadie, on the shores of Loch Fyne, is rich in lichens, mosses and worts due to the mild, wet weather coming in off the Atlantic.
It's a beautiful, important place. Some links:

@stevenlawson greetings from Rothesay. We’re planning a visit now. Thanks for sharing this wonderful information 😺
@vasyasovari You're welcome and I hope you enjoy your time in this amazing place. I was stood in the small car park reading an information board on seabirds and a dragonfly landed on it. It was a good sign!
