Forestry and Land Scotland say trees are thriving around the Cairngorms' An Lochan Uaine.
Controls on deer numbers have led to woodland regeneration around the Cairngorms' green lochan, according to Forestry and Land Scotland .
An Lochan Uaine, south of Aviemore, is one of the area's best-known lochs because of its emerald colour.The public agency said photographs taken in 1984 and the present day showed the scale of recovery.An Lochan Uaine - meaning the Green Lochan - gets its colour from the Sun reflecting minerals in rocks in and around the lochan.
According to folklore, the colour is the result of fairies washing their clothes in the small loch at night.
