Norwood Forest in the Scottish Borders, which features the Maiden Paps hills that are supposedly shaped like human breasts, has just gone up for sale for £19.5 million.

Norwood Forest is a 939-hectare area of land situated near Hawick in the Scottish Borders . It has been described as the 'Rolls Royce' of Scottish forests due to its substantial size and quality.

Elsewhere, Norwood also includes a wide range of burns, ponds, and a section of the Catrail — an 11.5-mile long ditch and bank cutting across the upper Teviot Valley that is believed to have been constructed in the fourth and fifth centuries. The land also features a substantial stone quarry that features a stock pile of crushed stone and additional borrow pits, while wind farm interest in the area is considerable, according to the sellers.

"Since 2015 the three properties have been owned by the Norwood Partnership, a partnership comprising family members and a charity." Property in Scotland "Add the premium location, an excellent forest road network, a diverse age class structure, the outstanding quality of the forestry and Norwood ticks every box. It is an exemplary forest that has been managed to an exacting standard and I expect it to attract considerable attention."
