<p><b><i>Exact location, viewing instructions and further details can be found in the brochure below.</i></b></p><p>Quarryhill lies about a mile west of Tain overlooking the Dornoch Firth. The proximity of the A9 trunk road means easy access from Inverness (35 miles to the south) and beyond. </p><p>The property is composed of approximately equal areas of woodland and rough grassland on gently sloping ground with an easterly aspect. Due to its raised location it enjoys long views while retaining a degree of shelter from surrounding woodland.</p><p>Quarryhill is a microcosm of the woodland that historically covered much of Highland Scotland. It is both private and accessible and offers a rare opportunity for a purchaser to involve themselves in this beautiful and important habitat.</p><p><b>Our Forester'sThoughts</b></p><p><b>Alastair says...</b></p><p><i>"What a privilege to own an ancient Caledonian pinewood! My silvicultural management would focus on the long-term wellbeing of the veteran trees and securing the regeneration of the next generation. </i></p><p><i>The pasture areas are open to a variety of uses from grazing to woodland expansion…and of course quiet enjoyment. I would want to keep a sizeable open area to the front of the ruined cottage to retain the views. I would want to extend the stone track into the property from the gate and might also explore the potential of a woodland hut.</i></p><p><i>Opening up the small overgrown burn (stream) and pond near the south side would benefit grazers and the environmental value of this special place."</i></p><p><b>Please remember some management operations require approval and/or a licence.</b></p>
