The majority of Lamont Wood is fairly dense conifer, creating a private and secluded feel, interspersed with beautiful and contrasting birch. Some animal trails through gorse and broom could be cleared through the thicker areas, to create a network of interconnecting trails; a useful and rewarding job for willing friends and family.

There is plenty of wildlife within the woods but exactly what and how many remains a mystery. Suitably situated trailcams are a fantastic way to open up the secrets of your woodland. It's worth finding out who else uses the woodland before deciding on what you do with the wood; time spent in observation is time well spent.

These woods are notable for the sound of silence, well away from the A96 to be able to listen clearly to the sounds of the forest, rather than the sound of traffic. The roads up to the woodland are seldom used allowing wildlife and humans to flourish within the wood.

The tracks are strong being constructed of stone and are accessible by most types of vehicle.

Sporting rights are sold with the wood.

These woods will be great for camping or for siting a woodland hut for the occassional overnight stay, a great backdrop for educating little people.

Burgie Woods are close to Forres which is a town and former royal burgh in the north of Scotland on the Moray coast, approximately 25 miles (40 km) northeast of Inverness and 12 miles (19 km) west of Elgin. There are many geographical and historical attractions nearby such as the River Findhorn, and there are also classical, historical artifacts and monuments within the town itself, such as Forres Tolbooth and Nelson's Tower. Brodie Castle, the home of the Brodie Clan, lies to the west of the town, close to the A96.

Findhorn Bay witnessed a brief episode in the 1745 Jacobite rising. In March 1746 the French brigantine Le Bien Trouvé entered the tidal waters with dispatches for Bonnie Prince Charlie but her departure, with the Prince's aide-de-camp on board, was delayed by the arrival of two British men-o'-war.
