DESCRIPTION Loch Earn Wood is a very attractive semi-natural woodland consisting of mainly mature birch, ash, rowan, willow and alder. Free draining fertile soils have allowed a charming woodland to develop and support a wide range of native flora and fauna. The woodland is part of the Coille Chriche Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) due to the scarcity of this habitat in Scotland. It is registered on the Ancient Woodland Inventory and has, therefore, been in existence since The age and structure of the woodland has allowed a rich and complex ecosystem to evolve and now supports many specialised woodland species. Loch frontage to the north of the woodland provides stunning views as well as a beautiful gravel beach, which is a delight to enjoy. The woodland would be perfect for those with a passion for wildlife, woodland conservation, fishing and boating on Loch Earn. SPORTING RIGHTS Sporting rights are included with the sale, which includes the riparian rights to fish on Loch Earn. Red and Roe deer are found within the woodland, as well as other game species.
