5 LOCATION Todsbughts Farm Woodland is located in Central Scotland, just 2 miles west of Slamannan village on the B803. The property is shown on the location and sale plans within these particulars and can be found on OS Sheet 1:50,000, Number 65, Grid Reference NS ACCESS From Slamannan, head west for approximately 2 miles on the B803 public road. The northern section of the property (Lot 1) has direct access off the B803 via a servitude right of access, shown between points A1-A2 on the sale plan. This has been used for timber extraction recently and does not require improvement. Maintenance is according to user. The southern section of the woodland (Lot 2) has some road frontage on to the B803; however, the main access points are taken further south, directly off the minor single track public roads to the east and west of the property. Construction of a suitable access will be required for timber extraction and the most appropriate point would be A3, as shown on the plan. Such development will require prior approval from the local authority. Lot 3 currently has access directly off the B803 through an existing gate. Access is suitable for agricultural use at present but could be improved.

In the main, these have established well, although they could be improved with drainage.
