LOCATIONEaster Bleaton is situated at the south end of Glen Shee, adjacent to the Black Water River in eastern Perthshire. The area is well-known for its commercial forestry, with well-developed timber haulage routes and markets. The forest lies a short distance from both Perth and Dundee, providing excellent transportation links, access to a domestic airport and excellent local amenities.

The forest is shown on the location plan within these particulars and the entrance can be found on OS 1:50,000 sheet No.53, Grid reference NO 142565.

ACCESSThe A93 road from Blairgowrie northbound to Braemar, passes just to the west of Easter Bleaton. A minor public road leaves the A93 in an easterly direction. Approximately 3.6 miles north of the Bridge of Cally, the road is signposted for Tullymurdoch and Alyth. After less than half a mile and passing over the Bridge of Dalrulzion, the entrance to the forest is immediately on the left, adjacent to a white cottage marked A1 on the sale plan. This route is not approved for timber traffic, which would have to travel south through Alyth to the A926.

Internal access is provided for by a well-made forest road that has been used for significant timber haulage and remains in a fair condition.

DESCRIPTION Easter Bleaton is a compact and well-located commercial forest, planted in the 1960s and 1970s with predominantly Sitka spruce and Lodgepole pine. The forest is well into its productive phase and now comprises a mix of young restocked crops and mature timber. The remaining timber is of high quality and of good form.

The summary table below shows species against planting year.
