The BBC reports
Trees have been found growing at record-breaking heights in Scotland’s mountains, according to new research by the University of Stirling.
The highest was a rowan 1,150m (3,773ft) near the top of Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan, a Munro in West Affric.
On Braeriach, Britain’s third highest mountain, a sitka spruce was found at 1,125m (3,691ft).
The trees could be a sign of how hilltop woodlands lost over thousands of years might be restored.
