Yes there were trees here once,long ago,Rowan and Birch plus Willows. Probably cut down for fuel during Iron Age????
There are still trees here which are ground hugging and grow among the heather.There are also lots of sheep here which graze everything to the ground.People were cleared from the land by landowners(Scots mainly)to be replaced by sheep,I regard myself as a Shetlander :DNOT Scottish:@.
