Caillich Wood sits in Highland Perthshire countryside with Scots pine, spruce and larch planted about 25 years ago, along with an interesting and diverse area of broadleaves, mainly birch and rowan, with some open heather covered ground to the east. The open aspect to the southeast and southwest allows plenty of sunlight and contrasts nicely with the sheltered areas within the wood.

The woods at Dunalastair are a haven for wildlife with many sitings of red squirrels and pine martens as well as a number of deer. The stream that runs adjacent to the track will draw in animals from all around, as well as being a good source of water for cups of tea.

The main feature is the ready made hut that will easily accommodate a couple of people for overnight stays if coming from further afield. A good community of people is present in the woods, all doing their own thing.

Access: After turning off the B847, there is a full right of access over a shared private hard track leading up a gradual incline to Caillich Wood.

Wayleaves and Third Party Rights: Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE) have a right of access over the shared track to reach the small sluice dam, owned by SSE and situated above and beyond Caillich Wood. Track maintenance is according to user.

Sporting Rights: These are fully owned and included with the land.

As well as having an abundant supply of firewood, with plenty stacked and ready for use on the access track, there is plenty of scope for creating extra clearings in the main body of the wood. Alternatively, the woodland will happily tick along with a gentle hand.

Surrounding area: Caillich Wood is part of the old Creag Dhubh Forestry Estate which is situated just above Dunalastair Water on the lower south-eastern slopes of the corbett, Beinn a' Chuallaich. The surrounding area is renowned for its natural highland beauty including the ancient Caledonian Pine woods (Black Woods of Rannoch), series of Lochs (Rannoch and Tummel), cascading rivers (Tummel and Garry) and classic conical shaped munro (Schiehallion). The area offers a range of opportunities for land or water based outdoor pursuits from hill-walking to mountaineering, boating (for sailing or fishing) to rafting. Local native wildlife includes grouse, red deer, red squirrels, pine martens, capercaillie, cross-bill and various birds of prey. There are also many interesting fungi, insects, birds, lichens and other plants indicating a healthy and diverse ecosystem and making the area something of a mecca for conservationists and biologists. Creag Dhubh is a wonderful spot in which to relax, feel the senses come alive and take in some of the purest air and most beautiful scenery in Scotland.
