DESCRIPTION
Lot 1 – Pickston Wood – 50.40 Hectares / 124.54 Acres
This attractive conifer woodland has been managed for timber
production. It was first planted in the 1950s and has been
restructured over the years which has resulted in appealing mix of
species and ages. The woodland now predominantly consist of Sitka
spruce which was planted in 2004 and 2021. Some of the stands of
mixed conifers and Norway spruce could be considered for
harvesting in the near future.
The site is gently sloping, rising to 170 meters above sea level at the
highest point and is well sheltered. There is an attractive loch to the
south-east of the wood which provides an opportunity for duck
flighting, fishing and is an ideal spot for a cabin/hut.
Lot 2 – Drumcairn Wood – 20.20 Hectares / 49.91 Acres
This compact commercial woodland is in its second rotation. The
crop almost entirely consists of Sitka spruce which was planted in
2004 and 2019 and is performing well. The woodland is low lying,
with an altitude of at 120 meters at the highest point.
The climate and geography of the area is well suited to growing
conifer species and both woodlands are showing excellent growth
rates. According to the Soil Survey of Scotland, the soils types consist
mostly of mineral podzols for Lot 1 and brown soils for lot 2.
