The dramatic recovery of some of Scotland’s most iconic habitats has been revealed to the public in a new pioneering photographic project.<\/p>

Using historical photographs which in some cases date back 70 years, NatureScot<\/a>, the Scottish Government’s environment agency has re-taken the same photos at the same location and at the same time of the year at six of its National Nature Reserves across the Highlands.<\/p>

The result is a unique time-lapse record of how some of Scotland’s most threatened habitats including Caledonian pine and birch<\/a> forests together with peat bogs are now recovering thanks to the efforts of conservation managers.<\/p>
