There are prospects for natural capital, with both estates having land suitable for woodland creation and peatland restoration, together with amenity values being high.

“With established commercial and native woodland opportunities and sporting interests including deer stalking and fishing, we expect to receive a lot of interest from a number of parties from a rural background and keen to embrace a tranquil way of life surrounded by Scotland’s stunning scenery.” 

Morvern is the outdoor enthusiast’s dream with scenic hill walking, cycling and sailing opportunities on the doorstep. For the sporting enthusiast the landscape offers exceptional deer stalking while the many local hill and sea lochs provide abundant fishing.
