Description: Lournie Wood is a private and peaceful woodland with good external access ideal for nature conservation and occasional camping. There is an internal track over heather and weaving between the thinned and denser areas of conifer to the east and west respectively. Significant areas of Scots pine, native birch and other broadleaves interspersed among various rides and clearings enhance the environment and create a wonderful network of nature trails and paths to walk through the entire woodland.

Access: is taken from the B974 through a shared single gate entrance and then along a hardstanding, shared, private track over which there is a right of access for all purposes.

Sporting Rights: These are owned and included with the land.

Mineral Rights: These are owned and included with the land except where reserved by statute.

Thornton Woodlands: which Lournie Wood is part of, are situated in idyllic, historical and very peaceful rural surroundings. The trees are a diverse mixture of species and ages and have been sympathetically managed in the past. Currently, mature Scots pine, young spruce and birch are dominant, but there are significant areas of mixed broadleaves including oak and alder and Norway spruce. Red squirrels, woodpeckers, pheasant, deer, wild hare and various fungi inhabit the woods. There are grants for encouraging capercaille.

Surrounding Area: Nearby are the tourist villages of Edzell, with its hidden "rocks of solitude" walk along the North Esk river, and Fettercairn with its working distillery. Slightly further afield are Glamis Castle and Lunan Bay beach and the fishing town of Montrose. Dundee and Aberdeen are each approximately 35 mins drive.

The purchasers of the woodland will be asked to enter into a covenant to ensure the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of adjoining woodlands and meadows.
