NS4377 : Fence and gate in Lang Craigs Woodland
taken 8 years ago, near to Milton, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland
Fence and gate in Lang Craigs Woodland
The view is from NS4377 : Lang Craigs Woodland: high-level path. Many of the gates in this area have, as well as numbers, descriptive names, and this gate is "Lady Overtoun's Gate – G10". For the feature after which it is presumably named, see NS4376 : Lady Overtoun's Walk.
Lang Craigs Woodland
The woodland occupies 240 hectares (590 acres) that were acquired by the Woodland Trust Scotland in 2011. It is named after the Long Crags (or Lang Craigs), a line of cliffs — Link — making up the facade of the Kilpatrick Hills plateau. Lang Craigs Woodland is one of the 13 Commonwealth Woods, and is an SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest). New paths have been laid out (waymarkers were added in May 2015), and about 160 hectares of new native woodland planted.
