The Wood of Cree is the largest ancient wood in southern Scotland and has a history of intensive management. Most of the oak trees show evidence of coppicing which started during the 17th century and continued until the mid 20th century. The wood was virtually clear felled by 1920. The Woodland Management is aiming at returning it to high forest, enhancing the biodiversity and extending the area of deciduous woodland habitat, and developing visitor access. The RSPB has recently purchased land adjacent to Cree Wood and is in the process of planting some 250,000 native seedlings of Oak, Birch, Ash,Alder and Willow. This will create around 670 acres of new woodland and, through sensible management, will significantly extend precious habitat for populations of threatened woodland birds like the black grouse. It will also create a larger continuous complex of native woodland up the Cree Valley.
 

The Mull of Galloway is Scotland's most southerly point and is one of its least known parts and remains an unspoiled paradise for visitors. The reserve has a viewing platform at Foghorn that overlooks the seabird colonies. Access is via steep steps and this viewing area has no disabled access. There is one circular trail that is not suitable for wheelchair or pushchairs, though wheelchair access is possible to the visitor centre and cafe.

The reserve is situated to the east of Potters Bar, just north of the M25 motorway off Coopers Lane Road. It is one of the best remnants of the ancient Enfield Chase. Diverse woodland, meadow and wetland habitats support an abundance of species. The reserve is divided into two main areas of woodland (Fir Wood to the north and Pond Wood to the south) which are predominantly oak and hornbeam. Within Pond Wood there is an ancient meadow which is being conserved with the help of grazing Shetland sheep. At the southern end is a lake which is being actively maintained by the Trust. The reserve is managed to encourage species diversity through restoration of the grassland, maintenance of ponds and control of invasive species.

Ben Wyvis is situated 15 miles west of Inverness off the A835 road. The mountain itself consists of a series of peaks, but the whole range comes under the name Ben Wyvis. The highest part is Glas Leathad Mòr (great green broad slope) at 1046m. It forms a high-level ridge with two deep craggy corries on its eastern face that contrasts with the steep grassier slopes that sweep up from the forests to the west. Over 170 species of plant can be found on and around the mountain, including many rare alpine species.

Situated on the North, West coast of Scotland Loch a' Mhuilinn is a wild, windswept location with the oak wood situated close to the shore. The effects of the westerly gales can be seen in the stunted growth of the Oak trees close to the shore.
