Strathnaver, Kinbrace, Sutherland
Description
Location
Rosal Wood is situated in a peaceful and remote area of north Scotland with an entrance off the B871. The property lies some two hours north of Inverness. Access can be taken from the west via Lairg and Altnaharra, or from the east via Helmsdale and Kinbrace.
Timber from the wood generally heads south via Kinbrace to markets in the Inverness area. However, timber also leaves by sea at Scrabster harbour near Thurso 40 miles to
the north.
The public roads serving the property are designated “consultation routes” by the
Timber Transport Forum.

Access
Access is taken from the B871 at point A on the sale map. The road from the point A to the forest forms part of the sale.
Note that a small area of forest road lying to the east of the property also forms part of the sale. This is shown at point B on the map. The sellers of Rosal Wood previously owned the extensive woodland areas lying to the south, and this small area of forest road was not conveyed in a previous sale. The owners to the south have full rights over
the road to point B and currently use this to access their woodland.
A forest road runs though Rosal to point D and is in good condition.
