Description
Leitters Forest, Near Balquhidder, Stirlingshire.
Area: 120.20 hectares / 297.01 Acres
Location
Leitters Forest is conveniently located in central Scotland, between Balquhidder and Lochearnhead in this highly picturesque area of northern Stirlingshire and west Perthshire, with the most stunning views down Loch Voil and up to the head of nearby Lochearn. Leitters was established as part of the Strathyre Forest complex, renowned for its excellent growing conditions and the forest is also within the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park.
The forest has the A84 public road running along part of its boundary, providing excellent access to the timber markets in the region and beyond. Please refer to the location and sale plans and use postcode FK19 8NX to locate the forest.
Description
The forest was originally established in the mid 1950’s with an excellent crop of Sitka spruce and Hybrid larch and then felling commenced from 2004, when a Long Term Forest Plan (LTFP) was approved, permitting phased felling and restocking of mainly high yielding Sitka spruce (67%) to this year.
The species and planting years are set out in the Sale Brochure, highlighting the range in ages which will provide a more sustainable yield in the future as these high yield class crops mature. Planted areas have been supplemented with natural regeneration and now the thicket stage crops are well established. There are also two areas of mature Larch which could be felled shortly to produce some short term tax free timber revenue.
All felling to date has been carried out by harvester and forwarder combination with ground preparation carried out using excavators to create mounds for planting.
Historically, there was once a gold mine located midway up the slope on Leitters, although there are no visible signs of its precise location, it highlights the variety of land uses that took place in this area. A copy of the LTFP and data base is available from the Selling Agent on request.
Please refer to the online Sale Brochure, short video and contact the Selling Agent for more details.
