Photograph of a group of fir trees standing on a steep escarpment, sloping to the left within Badenoch Forest in Scotland. Individual trees and roots stand in the foreground.

The name Badenoch derives from the Scottish Gaelic 'drowned land'. The land itself is mountainous, much of which is forested.
