Scotland's Adventure Coast

Argyll is home to more than 50% of Scotland's rainforest. 

Scotland’s rainforest is as important as tropical rainforest, but even rarer. It’s a kind of coastal temperate rainforest, which itself is incredibly rare on a global level.

Also known as Atlantic woodland and Celtic rainforest, is made up of the native woodlands where consistent levels of rainfall and relatively mild, year-round temperatures provide just the right conditions for some of the world’s rarest mosses, liverworts and lichens.

This special habitat is incredibly rare but all free for everyone to explore and enjoy in the following places in Kilmartin Glen and Oban & Lorn;
