Lofty oak and beech with extensive river frontage and a sheltered paddock

As its name implies, Scone Den occupies an attractive gulley straddling a small burn that links with the larger Annaty Burn on its northern boundary. It is close to the south side of Scone but due to topography the village is hidden from view and the wood presents a rural aspect with views over adjacent fields to the south and east. The county town of Perth is two miles to the southwest from where motorways and trunk roads give easy access to Edinburgh, Dundee and beyond.

Scone Den, which is described as being ‘Long Established of Plantation Origin’, is dominated by magnificent mature oak and beech stems, giving way to lime and alder nearer to the banks of the Annaty Burn. The woodland floor beneath is largely free of entangling vegetation, being dominated by areas of grass and moss dotted with ferns and woodland flowers. The sub-canopy is composed of a light covering of woody shrubs including hazel, hawthorn, holly and elder along with groups of young saplings from the parent trees.

A well-found path meanders along the south side of the wood through the den from the southeast access point, linking with the village via a couple of substantial pedestrian bridges. The secluded northeast corner of the property includes a sheltered paddock with stream frontage.

This high amenity wood has broad appeal, whether it be silviculture, conservation or quiet enjoyment.

Our Forester'sThoughts

Alastair says...

"Where to start? I might erect a fence to give privacy to the northeast section of the wood where I might also consider carving out a pond on the riverside flats. The northeast boundary of the paddock needs fencing, after which it presents a range of options from grazing and hutting to additional woodland planting."
