Drimmie Woods, part of the ancient Forest of Alyth, has a rich history shaped by both nature and human activity. After the last Ice Age ended around 15,000 BC, glaciers gave way to dense woodlands of oak, birch, elm, and hazel, creating an ideal habitat for Mesolithic hunter-gatherers. By the Neolithic period (4,500–2000 BC), farming communities had cleared much of the forest for pasture and fields, transforming the landscape. Despite this, Drimmie Wood remained part of the royal hunting reserves of the Kings of Scotland, preserving a connection to the area’s deep natural and cultural heritage. Today, the woodland is largely covered with fast-growing Sitka spruce for timber production, but its ancient roots and historical significance endure.
