Glen Lochay Aspen Distribution Map


Glen Lochay
The Lochay recorded by far the lowest number of records, but that may be partly due to the increased importance given to recording the species in the other glens the following year. However, extensive native woodland remnants do really only occur in the bottom third of the glen, and in this respect, the Lochay catchment is different to the other two areas. Two significant remnants of approx 60 and 120-150 trees do exist on the Lochay down in Killin, the other records comprising only 2-10 trees. Unrecorded aspen will certainly exist in the Glen Lochay Woods SSSI.
