About

Devilla covers 700 ha of forest, much of which was planted in the 1950s. You can leave the waymarked trail and explore the network of paths that extend through one of the largest pine forests in the Scottish lowlands.

There are four lochs to find, home to thriving wildlife, including otters. Among the trees are many relics of past times, such as an enigmatic stone monument that tradition associates with Macbeth and a gravestone that marks the resting place of three children who died of the plague in 1645.

Devilla covers an historic landscape of farm and moorland whose place-names are rooted in Gaelic language and culture. Its own name means ‘bad farm’, which refers to land ill suited for farming, more than a mile north of the forest.
