Storm Damage in the Hewan Wood – January 2024

Storms Isha and Jocelyn in January 2024 have damaged a number of trees in the Hewan Wood.
PLEASE TAKE SPECIAL CARE WHILST WALKING IN THE WOOD until we are able to clear and make safe the damaged trees.

Unfortunately storms Isha and Jocelyn have damaged some trees in and near to the Hewan Wood.

The large Beech tree just outside the entry to the wood on the Polton to Roslin path has fallen and blocked the path towards Polton (and, sadly, crushed our new gate).

Within the wood a pine has fallen across the stone steps leading down towards Roslin Glen and there are trees down elsewhere along the paths and in the open area near to the river at the Maiden Castle.

We will endeavour to clear and make safe all of the fallen trees within the wood as soon we can but in the meantime please TAKE EXTRA CARE when walking along the paths and through the Hewan Wood.
