Description

Feochaig occupies a commanding coastal site just a few miles from the southern tip of the Mull of Kintyre. The wood has a bright easterly aspect with the majority being on moderate slopes aside from the coastal fringe which falls steeply to the rocky shore below.

Campbeltown is 7 miles to the north. Glasgow is 60 miles to the northeast as the crow flies, but 140 miles by road (about 3½ hour drive) or a 40 minute flight. A ferry service from Campbeltown runs to Ardrossan on the Ayrshire coast in summer (currently May to September).

Most of Feochaig was harvested of its conifer crops in 2005, but a number of outcrops and gullies retained their tree cover leaving a patch mosaic of mature stems across parts of the wood. Under the Forest Plan, the felled areas were then left to regenerate naturally and the wood now supports a variety of emerging native broadleaves including birch, rowan and willow along with a smattering of pine and spruce that seeded in from the previous crop. The ground flora has also developed well with soft grasses and abundant heather on raised ground giving way to sedges, moor grass and rush elsewhere. There is a requirement to consolidate the regenerated areas by planting 3,300 broadleaves in two locations.

Feochaig occupies a commanding position atop its coastal bluffs, with wide panoramic views over the waters of the Firth of Clyde. On clear days it is possible to see Ailsa Craig and the Ayrshire coast to the east, and there are lovely framed views north towards the Isle of Arran.

You are unlikely to be disturbed by anything more than the occasional tractor or passing fishing boat in this quietest of locations. It takes little imagination to see the potential for recreation here along with the added interest of watching and shaping the development of the wood as it returns to a more natural state.

If It Were Mine

A hard track leads from the entrance to a private area of hardstanding - an ideal place to overnight in a caravan or motorhome. I would extend this to enhance access across the property and facilitate management, especially in nurturing the restock areas.

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

A restocking obligation is associated with the areas of ground shaded yellow on the attached Restocking Obligation Map.  By 2020 the purchaser is required to plant three hectares of ground (exclusive of open ground) with native broadleaves appropriate to the site and of suitable native provenance, to achieve a minimum of 1,100 stems per hectare and thereafter maintain for a period of ten years.

The purchaser is at liberty to determine which area(s) of ground within the shaded yellow areas are replanted, so long as this is clearly defined on the ground and extends to the full three hectares covered by the restocking obligation.
