Andrew Painting at Mar Lodge, copyright Gordon Terris/Herald and Times THE rugged landscape of the Highlands is a place of loss. It has not been until relatively recently that we in Scotland, have properly started to perceive that. For years it was just synonymous with the wild, nature s domain. What was missing was rarely on our minds, as we focussed on sporting icons – the deer, the grouse, the heather. But now the Monarch of the glen, is being dethroned and emphasis is being given to the nurturing and return of other species – both those that are all-too rare and those that are absent. Many species have disappeared over centuries, even millennia, mostly as a result of human impact. We don’t notice their absence because we have never known them to be there.
