Silver birch provides food and habitat for more than 300 insect species – the leaves attracting aphids which provide food for ladybirds and other species further up the food chain. The leaves are also a food plant for the caterpillars of many moths, including the angle-shades, buff tip, pebble hook-tip, and Kentish glory. Birch trees are particularly associated with specific fungi, including fly agaric, woolly milk cap, birch milk cap, birch brittlegill, birch knight, chanterelle and the birch polypore (razor strop).

The woods in general act as a magnet for all types of wildlife from deer, to an array of birdlife and insects attracted no doubt to the quietness in these woods.

These woods are easily accessible from Glasgow; ideal for those who may not have enough space in the big city.

Access from the main road is over a shared stone track, while entrance into the main woodland is through a lockable wooden gate. For convenience there is also a pedestrian gate. The track leading to the individual woodlands is of good condition with little maintenance required.

All sporting rights are sold with the woodland.

The large open grassy area would be perfect for camping with family and friends.

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.
