The forests of Dull (including Camserney), Weem and Glassie (including Killiechassie) sit on the slopes on the north side of the River Tay, to the north and west of Aberfeldy in Highland Perthshire. Together, they cover an area of approximately 1523 hectares. 

Dull and Weem contain mostly older, mixed species on the steep, rocky south facing slopes and are prominent in the landscape. The older sections of Weem are remnants of the Castle Menzies policy woodland, a mix of native broadleaves and specimen conifers, acquired during the travels of Archibald Menzies, plant collector, who worked in the gardens of Castle Menzies. Glassie and Camserney are located on the flatter, higher ground above. These blocks were planted with conifers during the 1980s and 1990s. 

Proposed timeline 

• October 2023: the present plan expired
• Autumn 2024: initial scoping and consultation starts
• Spring/Summer 2025: draft proposal for public consultation
• Autumn 2025: preparation of final plan document for submission to Scottish Forestry

Scoping and consultation

We are currently carrying out the scoping for the new plan.

The initial scoping analyses the issues, constraints and opportunities to be considered for future management, and proposes objectives and priorities (short and long term) which will inform the preparation of the plans for the next 10 years.  If you would like to contribute, there is a feedback form provided below, or you can contact us using the contact details at the bottom of the page.

More information on the wider context of the forest and the issues that we have identified so far are shown on the maps provided below.
