- The Scottish Highlands is the only area in the British Isles to have the taiga biome, which features concentrated populations of Scots pine forest1. The Highlands are the most mountainous part of the United Kingdom1. However, many areas in the Highlands have no trees2. Forests of this type were found all over what is now the island of Great Britain for a few thousand years, before the climate began to slowly warm in the Atlantic period, and the temperate coniferous forests began retreating north into the Scottish Highlands, the last remaining climatic region suitable for them in the British Isles3.
