The estate was owned by a trust that wanted to recreate the ancient forests which once covered Scotland.
An estate on Loch Lomond's eastern shore which has been transformed from a bracken covered farm into a native woodland has gone up for sale, with an asking price of £4m.
The trust said it now felt it taken the estate as far as it could and was looking for a custodian to protect it for the future. “This is an exceedingly rare and desirable opportunity to purchase a stunning wild estate that has international importance and continue the excellent stewardship shown by Cashel Forest Trust,” it said.The estate covers 1,242 hectares of hillsides, moorland and native woodlands.
It planted a large native species woodland on a former hill farm as a demonstration forest to show best practice.
