SAT 13 MAY - SAT 26 AUG
NORTH MUSEUM
Ayrshire, along with most of Scotland’s
landscape, was at one time dominated by
woodland. The activities of the earliest
humans to live here began a process
which was to significantly reduce this
woodland coverage. By the eighteenth
century, Ayrshire was to a great extent a
treeless environment. The determination
of landowners to reverse this decline
and improve the productivity of their
properties led to planting which through
time, produced the landscape which
we recognise today. Trees enhance our
surroundings and confer environmental
benefits. Beyond this, there is a story
to be told as to how trees throughout
history have provided us with useful raw
materials, being exploited as a fuel, serving
as structures for our buildings and being
crafted into many everyday objects. This
exhibition features paintings and artefacts
from our own collection which reflect our
relationship with our wooded landscape.
