Scotland’s fight to restore our independence is being led and managed by people who have not yet begun to decolonise their own minds.

Suzanne Simard discovered that trees communicate and share resources.
It reshapes eveyrhting we know about forest ecology and conservation.
For decades, Canadian ecologist Suzanne Simard has quietly revolutionized how we see forests—not as a collection of competing trees but as thriving, cooperative communities.
Her research on mycorrhizal networks—the underground fungal threads connecting trees—revealed how forests share resources, communicate stress, and nurture new life.
Simard’s landmark 1997 study, which found that birch and fir trees exchange carbon underground, redefined ecological science and sparked global fascination with what she calls “Mother Trees”—old, central trees that support the health and growth of their forest “families.” Her 2021 memoir, Finding the Mother Tree, became a bestseller and is now being adapted into a film starring Amy Adams.
But Simard’s mission is more urgent than fame. Through her Mother Tree Project and collaborations with Indigenous nations, she advocates for sustainable forestry practices that preserve old-growth trees and protect forest ecosystems from irreversible damage. While critics question her use of anthropomorphic language, Simard insists that humanizing forests helps the public understand what’s at stake. With climate change accelerating and ancient forests vanishing, Simard remains a voice of both caution and hope. “These forests were meant to heal,” she says. “And I have to make sure people understand that.”

Roslin Castle (Scotland) reconstruction mock-up over @UndisScot image. A Sinclair family stronghold. Site attacked by English forces in 1544 and 1650. Both assaults were from the side as a frontal attack would be madness. #RoslinCastle #ScottishCastles #HistoryRebuilt

On Monday, we visited Unst (the most northerly island in the UK) which involved two ferries (one to Yell and one to Unst)

We drove past and stopped at the Viking Unst Project in Haroldswick on Unst, where there was a reconstructed Viking longhouse and longship
