The land contains peat and the current owners have actively been involved with peatland restoration over the farm but not on a commercial basis, yields and potential yields have not been assessed. There are areas of flatter ground with impeded drainage and sections of deep peat. The Soil Survey of Scotland classifies the majority of the soils as peat with mineral podzols lower down and peaty gleys on the higher plateaus. Glensherraig offers a rare opportunity to play a key role in the ongoing stewardship and management of this stunning landscape containing some of Scotland’s most spectacular and important habitats where public access has been encouraged.
A delightful bothy sits within this parcel, clad with corrugated metal and a grass rood, which sleeps two.
