Excerpt from English Trees and Tree-Planting
During the first part of the present century the influence of the Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland has been the means of adding much to the increase of plantations throughout the country, in offering various premiums for the introduction of new timber-trees, and the formation of extensive planta tions throughout Scotland; while the great success of the larch forests of the Duke of Athole about the middle of the last century, which occasioned that tree to be planted more or less on almost every property in Scotland, has been supplemented by the Earl of Seafield, who has been, perhaps, the most extensive planter of the present century, having planted up wards of thirty millions of plants In a space exceeding 8, 000 acres.
