BROUGHTONKNOWE WOOD
Broughtonknowe Wood is in the Scottish Borders about a mile north of Broughton on the A701. It extends to some 135 acres and was planted in the late 1980s with a mixture of native hardwoods and commercial softwoods.
The woods were the vision of the late Major David Balfour-Scott who conceived the idea of a woodland with commercial potential softened by amenity and the beauty of native species. Once planted the wood immediately won awards for its forward-thinking vision.
From 2001 Christopher Lambton and Julie Morrice owned the wood and continued to welcome the walkers who enjoy the woodland.
Since 2025, ownership of Broughtonknowe Wood has transferred into community hands.
LOCATION
The car park for the woodland is just off the A701 just over half a mile south from the junction with the A72 to Muirburn and Skirling, a mile north of Broughton.
