Aberdeen city centre is 10 road miles to the east. The felling of the previous mature conifer stands was precipitated by damage from Storm Arwen. The entire crop was felled in 2022 and Eddieston is now bare of trees apart from a few fringing rowan and willow stems. It is offered as a productive restock site with good access to a variety of nearby timber markets. The previous crop of mixed conifers (including Sitka spruce and Scots pine) was felled under a Scottish Forestry felling licence. The restock obligations currently state that the site is to be replanted with mixed broadleaves at 1,600 stems per hectare. The Soil Survey of Scotland indicates the soils to be humus-iron podzols with some gleys and brown soils, suggesting suitability for a reasonably broad range of tree species. Access is taken directly off the adjacent minor county road which has already proven itself in the extraction of the previous crop. Eddieston now presents a clean palette for those with a vision for woodland planting and design. If It Were Mine There is an obligation to restock the wood. I’d be inclined to plant with broadleaves as per the current felling licence requirements, with an emphasis on native species including an element of woody shrubs for habitat creation. However the restock prescription could be swung towards conifers (subject to Scottish Forestry approval) for those with a more commercial outlook. <div align="center"><a href="https://www.woods4sale.co.uk/woodlands/scotland/2174.htm" target="_blank"><strong>View More Details</strong></a></div>
