Right next to the town of Oban lies this beautiful patch of Scottish rainforest, home to an abundance of plants, lichens, and fungi—some of them rare. The ancient hazel trees, draped in lichen, are a striking sight. In spring, the many bluebells add color to the woods, while the orange berries of the rowan tree appear in autumn.
