Nestled in the Scottish Highlands near the historic Culloden Battlefield, Ruallan Forest is a 58-hectare native woodland project restoring the ancient Caledonian landscape. Designed with low-density planting and natural regeneration in mind, the forest blends Silver birch, Sessile oak, hazel, rowan, alder, and iconic ‘granny’ Scots pines, some of which are already seeding new generations.

Ruallan connects two mature conifer forests, creating a vital wildlife corridor between three populations of the elusive Scottish wildcat. The area also supports red squirrels, pine martens, parrot crossbills, golden and sea eagles, black grouse, and curlews. Open moorlands, dry meadows, and archaeological features have been carefully preserved to maintain biodiversity and cultural integrity.

Once fully matured, the forest will deliver over 17,900 tCO₂e in Balance Units, validated under the Woodland Carbon Code. Each Unit represents not just carbon removal, but also the revival of local ecosystems and protection of species native to the Highlands.
