This project tested the scope of viewing the concept of Ecosystem Services and how it relates to Gaelic culture through:
- geographical locations and place-name evidence
- song, poetry and literature
It used old and modern maps, historical documents, poems and songs, oral tradition and folklore, literature & other media, and research projects & papers, and it covered land, water and marine ecosystems.
It was wide ranging, looking at provisioning, regulating and cultural ecosystem services, and found many examples such as wildfood gathering, medicinal plants, transhumance, agriculture, fuel, timber, and recreation.
