Description

Firelaw Copse lies adjacent to a quiet country road 3 miles north of the historic market town of Biggar in the Scottish Borders. Edinburgh and Glasgow are both about an hour’s drive. The surrounding countryside is one of gently rolling pastureland rising to heather-clad hills in the further distance.

Firelaw was originally planted for Christmas trees in the mid 1990s, but the young crop was never harvested and it has now developed into an attractive shelterbelt of mixed conifers including Norway spruce, Noble fir and Scots pine. The roadside edge is predominantly trimmed beech and a few other species are found across the site including Sitka spruce, sycamore, Norway maple, hawthorn, birch and willow.

The wood occupies gently sloping ground with a northerly aspect and enjoys wide panoramic views over adjacent fields (alive with geese when we visited).

Access is directly from the minor public road on the east edge of the property and there is also a right of access over the hard track on the southern boundary.

If venturing into woodland ownership for the first time this little property ticks a lot of boxes; a varied maturing crop, good access, gentle terrain, pretty surroundings and a price tag that beats pretty much anything else on the market.

If It Were Mine

Some very gentle thinning would bring more light to the woodland floor as well as supplying the log store, and I would consider a small hard-standing area by the track on the south edge for parking and processing produce.

Please remember some management operations require approval and/or a licence.
