Blairnairn

Blairnarn, in Glen Fruin, is part of Luss Estates. The Commercial woodlands are being developed by RDS Forestry Ltd. Click here for a description of the development 

We were disappointed  that the percentage of Native species was less than 25%. Access and Egress for the Forestry vehicles will not involve Pier and Station Roads.
