    Where did you get that idea from? Much of the Highland's timber in particular and the UK's in general by Victoria's time, was already on the decline, due to the first part of the industrial revolution and before that even,(at first charcoal and household fuel too before coal became widely available and then an unquenchable need for pitprops for the new mines and timber for the new factories) mainly and two World Wars polished off most of the rest ----after her time.
