Dogs

Forestry and Land Scotland doesn't list its own dog rules for this forest. Under the Scottish Outdoor Access Code, dogs are welcome if kept under proper control: on a short lead or close at heel near farm animals, and in forests, moorland and on loch shores during the April to July bird breeding season. Pick up after your dog. Keep dogs close near livestock and cliff edges.
