Stop, look, listen: you may even see a roe deer as you strike into the heart of the woods. Follow the burn as it plunges towards the Clyde, and discover wild berries and mushrooms. There are approximately 140 acres of woodland at Finlaystone, including trees which are estimated to be in the region of at least 300-400 years old.
The woodland floor has fantastic display of fungi and flora including species such as primrose, wood sorrel, wood anemone, wild garlic and dog's mercury, all of which are indicative of ancient or long established semi-natural woodland. Follow the changing seasons and seek out snowtrails and snowdrops in winter, bluebells in spring, wildflowers and pond life during summer, and a variety of colourful berries during autumn. The mud flats, which are leased to the RSPB, are designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) on the basis of their national importance for wintering birds such as redshank, greenshank, oystercatcher, goldeneye and eider. |
The long-term conservation and management
of the estate is the responsibility of the MacMillan family. The family
aim to provide an unspoilt and welcoming place using the minimum of resources.
