The area is predominantly flat or gently sloping suitable for grazing livestock. Lot 2 - Dall Hill Dall Hill, extends to 1, acres (431.25ha) and is located to the southwest of Lot 1, rising from 280m up to 521m at the summit of Meall a Chathaidh. The ground is bounded to the north by the railway line, to the south and east by extensive native and commercial woodlands and to the west by a minor public road. The ground is bounded by stock and deer fences to the north south and east in varying but generally reasonable states of repair, with the western boundary along the public road unfenced, as the ground is currently being grazed as a single unit with Stance Hill to the west. The free draining soils afford great versatility either as part of a farming unit, if purchased with Dall Croft (Lot 1), or for commercial woodland creation, capable of supporting a range of commercial and native tree species. The current owners have surveyed the ground and held initial discussions with Forestry Commission Scotland for a commercial woodland creation project extending to approximately 200ha, details of which are available from the Selling Agents upon request. A full woodland creation grant application has not been submitted, however Forestry Commission Scotland have confirmed that subject to the necessary pre-planting survey assessments they can currently see no reason why a Woodland Creation application would not be successful, allowing the incoming owner to plan a woodland to their own design. Lot 3 - Stance Hill Stance Hill, extends to 1, acres (408.54ha) and is located to the northwest of Lots 1 and 2, beyond the public road which forms the unfenced boundary between Lots 2 and 3. The ground rises gently from 300m to over 510m

6 with heather dominated slopes lower down, giving way to an attractive area of craggy ground in the centre of the property, before opening out above 440m to an extensive moorland plateau in the southwest. It also benefits from an excellent internal road infrastructure associated with the hydro-electric pipelines, located to the northeast. The ground is unfenced along the public road with a combination of stock and deer fences in varying states of repair with neighbouring forestry and hill ground. Stance Hill, while not as productive as Dall Hill, still offers great versatility and value as part of a hill farming unit, with potential for (predominantly native) woodland creation projects and considerable stalking appeal with the opportunity of walkedup grouse.
