Location

The woodland is located between the small towns of Forfar and Brechin with good road links to connect with the A90 to access Dundee, central Scotland, and Aberdeen. Weiris is low lying and set in a prime agricultural area making it an ideal woodland for high quality timber growth. The Weiris Burn runs through the wood, and two ponds add a further attraction for conservation and sporting objectives.

Access

Access from central Scotland is via the A90. Some 8 miles north of Forfar, take the B957, signposted Tannadice and Noranside. In Tannadice head north to Knowehead and then east for about 2.5 miles. Access is taken from the public road at Hilton Cottages on the left at point A on the plan. Road use for timber extraction has been demonstrated in the past accessing the C31 which is designated a Consultation Route. A right of access for all purposes exists over A-C with maintenance according to usage. A forest road has been constructed within the woodland from point B to D and was used during previous timber harvesting operations. The gate at point B is locked with a gate code available on request.
