Keeping our fleet safe, compliant, and ready to deliver — no matter the terrain.
With one of the largest and most active machinery fleets in Scotland’s uplands, compliance isn’t a box-ticking exercise for us. It’s essential to keeping our people safe, our clients satisfied, and our projects moving.
That’s why we’ve been working closely with our trusted partners at RMS Hiab and Low Loader Hire, who’ve been out on-site this week carrying out vital LOLER testing across our excavator fleet. Their work backs up the incredible effort of our skilled in-house team, who manage our plant and equipment to the highest possible standards.
This kind of proactive approach allows us to operate with confidence — even in the toughest conditions — and stay focused on delivering results where it matters most.
In remote landscapes, tight programmes, and challenging ground… there’s no margin for error. That’s why we invest in doing things right.

We don’t just work in the hills — we run from a rock-solid base!
At the heart of Taiga Upland is our custom-built yard, workshop, and storage facility in Highland Perthshire. It's not a bad place to call home!
It’s more than just a place to park machines and store materials. It’s where the day starts, where teams connect, and where solutions are forged. Every tool, every excavator, every metre of fencing — it all begins here.
This is the hub that powers landscape-scale delivery across Scotland. A space that reflects our values: structured, professional, and ready. It’s where ideas grow, where innovation begins, and where the work is quietly done — day after day, year after year.
If you want a professional approach, we’re the professional choice.

You know a Taiga Upland team when you see one.
Professional kit. Branded vehicles. Skilled operators.
And above all — a sense of purpose that reaches beyond the fenceline.
Glen Isla is one of the most beautiful places we work — but make no mistake, it’s tough country.
This is restock deer fencing in a remote, exposed environment. It takes planning, precision, and genuine teamwork.
Our approach is simple: deliver quality, respect the landscape, and support the people doing the work.
That’s what professionalism looks like in the uplands.
Helping shape the future of forestry, one pull at a time.

What’s the problem with Gen Z? As far as we can see — absolutely none.
At Taiga Upland, we’ve always believed: if you’re good enough, you’re old enough. And that belief runs deep across our business.
From forestry to fencing, peatland restoration to logistics, young people aren’t just showing up — they’re stepping up.
We see the best of Gen Z every day:
• Clear values and a desire to make a difference
• Technically sharp and quick to learn
• Honest, direct communicators
• Huge appetite to grow and do meaningful work
They don’t wait to be told — they want to understand why. They care about the environment and they care about doing things right. That fits our world perfectly.
At Taiga Upland, they’re not here to make up the numbers.
They’re key performers, driving results now and shaping the business we’re becoming.
Scotland’s rural industries need the energy, mindset and skills this generation brings — and we’re proud to be building a culture that gives them a platform to thrive.

Another peatland restoration project complete — and now the work behind the work begins.
Demobilisation is a key part of our operations. Machines are brought carefully back to the roadside, cleaned down, checked over, and prepped for transport. Low Ground Pressure tracks come off. Narrower transport tracks go on. Every detail matters.
It’s not just the machines — it’s the people and planning. Our skilled in-house support team makes sure every item is accounted for: ATVs, bog mats, bowsers, welfare units and more. The goal? Smooth, safe, low-impact transitions to the next site.
This is where great logistics meets great land management.
Getting it done — simply, safely, and with minimal fuss.
