The history of vegetation on Tulloch Moor near Loch Garten in the Cairngorms has been investigated through pollen analysis using a samples of peat and moss. This indicated that there was a period before burning was common, when the Moor was much more wooded than now, mainly with pine and some birch. Prior to this there was an open heath with some trees, similar to that found today. There are indications that regeneration is increasing rapidly in this conservation site.
