There was a thing on Mull a few years ago where you could buy land affordably if you could prove you intended to live/work it sustainably. Woodland ownership is a nice dream but reality of land prices will sadly keep it a dream. If you're thinking seriously about sustainable land use and production consider wood pasture and agro-forestry. Using and manipulating natural process in a sustainable way without putting too much pressure on where ever you end up is going to be more sustainable than closed canopy woodland.
