Glenlyon
Aspen is well distributed throughout the length of the glen, with the most significant stands occurring in the Meggernie area and in the Allt Mor below Schiehallion, with up to 75 trees present at a number of locations. Of the 59 stands recorded, the great majority will comprise 5-15 individuals, with a number of individual trees recorded as well. Probably half of the native woodland remnants in upland gorges in the Lyon catchment will contain a small number of aspen trees, and the age structure is in fact very healthy in these areas, with a high proportion of trees being in the younger age categories. Aspen has undoubtedly been a very significant component of the native woods in the Lyon catchment in the past, with significant remnants surviving through to today.
