In Celtic cultures, the birch symbolises growth, renewal, stability, initiation, and usefulness because it is highly adaptive and able to sustain harsh conditions with casual indifference. Birch is a pioneer species that is the trailblazer for regenerating woodland; it grows relatively quickly and can outgrow grazing deer by sheer weight of numbers. It is also a fantastic timber for firewood as long as it is stored in a dry place relatively quickly after harvest. Birch bark extract can be used for medicinal purposes.

Dragonfly wood has been named after regular summer visitors, one of a myriad of insect species that have made the woods their home. The rich and vibrant eco system is a sure sign of a healthy forest, an island amongst a carpet of grazing farmland thumbing its nose at the concept of mono culture.

The stream running along the northern boundary could provide a good supply of water.

A good sized hard standing will facilitate timber stacking or vehicle movements.

The main internal track is well stoned and should need little in the way of maintenance.

Full sporting rights are sold with the woodland.

With the woods lying within a couple of miles of Loch Lomond, this provides a fantastic base for exploration in every season.

Subject to the required planning requirements, a hut would provide a useful bolthole to escape the vagaries of the weather.

With the numerous watering holes, the placement of a wildlife camera is sure to reward.

The surrounding area of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs gained much popularity with the publication of Sir Walter Scott's 1810 poem 'The Lady of the Lake'. The poem gives a roll call of Trossachs place names, the lady herself being found on Loch Katrine. Scott followed up with his 1817 historical novel Rob Roy, romanticising the outlaw cattle thief Raibert Ruadh born by Loch Katrine and buried at nearby Balquhidder.

Stirling with its beautiful castle is just a 30 minute drive away with direct links from there across to Edinburgh.
