Important

There’s a very high risk of wildfire in North and North East Scotland from Friday 20 March to Saturday 21 March 2026. Please pay attention to local guidance and follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.

This is the first land management plan covering a cluster of forest blocks which fall under the collective title of Sidlaws. These blocks include Hallyburton, Balkello and North Ballo. There is a strong level of public use in these forest blocks and this is acknowledged through focus on visitor zone management in key routes and access points.
