Devilla

Watch for red squirrels scurrying through the pine

The Scots Pine trees of Devilla are a perfect habitat for red squirrels. After trying to spot them along the Red Squirrel Trail, continue to explore the wider forest. Its four lochs are home to dragonflies and otters.

Dragonfly hotspot

Did you know Devilla is a dragonfly hotspot? This designation was given to us by the British Dragonfly Society in recognition of the quality and importance of the forest for dragonflies and damselflies. We are committed to conserving and promoting these important species. You can learn more about the dragonflies and damselflies found at Devilla through our interpretation panel on site.

Red Squirrel Trail

Watch for squirrels scurrying through the lodgepole pine on this short trail round Bordie Loch and past the legendary Standard Stone.

Firm gravel surface throughout with some uneven sections. Generally flat with some short fairly steep slopes. 

1 ½ miles / 2.4 km

Allow 1 hour

More information

The trail loops around a beautiful woodland loch, where you’ll find shaded picnic tables and well-placed benches. If you don’t spot the real thing along the way, look out for ‘squirrel shadows’ hidden in the trees that bring their shape and darting movements to life.
