Woodland on the north side of Coiliochbhar Hill The woodland on the north side of Coiliochbhar Hill is largely deciduous and open. OS mapping at the location of the recording of this image suggests no tree cover and it's possible that the short specimens seen here are the result of natural regeneration. There's evidence on the ground that this is an old wooded area - the low level vegetation is greater woodrush. The valley below is that of the River Don, the river flowing unseen at the foot of the trees.
