Chapter 6

Torridonian Island

Isle Martin

The cliffed side of Isle Martin, off Ullapool in Western Scotland. Now abandoned, it is managed by a community trust. What has happened to the land and the wildlife since the last crofters left in the 1930's? A few small areas were tree-planted. There are no grazers on the island, not even deer or rabbits. Is it rewilding? If so, how?
