Allt Ruadh cascading through Caledonian pine forest in Glen Feshie. Caledonia is the Roman name for Scotland, meaning ‘wooded heights’. These ancient pine forests are home to some of our rarest species including crossbill, capercaillie and crested tit as well as being the stronghold of the red squirrel. Their heritage and conservation value is now well recognised and, through fencing and reductions in numbers of red deer, some of these native forests are regenerating or expanding once more, and new areas are being planted with native trees.
Mark Hamblin has worked as a freelance nature photographer since 1995, creating images for international photographic agencies; providing specialist guiding services and working on multi-media conservation projects.
Mark has published and collaborated on several books including Wild Peak, Wild Land - Images of nature from the Cairngorms, Tooth & Claw and 2020VISION. He was also a contributing photographer for the Wild Wonders of Europe project working on stories in Lithuania and The Netherlands.
Mark is a director of the social enterprise company, Wild Media Foundation, who produce communications material for a range of clients as well as working on their own projects. Their current project, SCOTLAND: The Big Picture amplifies the case for a wilder Scotland, and Mark is part of a team of photographers and videographers currently gathering material for a range of media products.
