The Land

The land at Wester Drumour Farm extends to approximately 238 acres (95 ha) in total with approximately 52 acres (21 hectares) of permanent pasture and approximately 194 acres (78 hectares) of a combination of rough grazing and hill ground. The land benefits from a southern aspect and is principally classified as Grade 5.2 by the James Hutton Institute with some areas being classified as Grade 6.2 and 4.1. The lower land running adjacent to the River Braan is flat with the remainder being sloped rising from approximately 174 m in the south to 357 m above sea level at its highest point in the north.

The southern enclosures consist of highquality permanent pasture, with the ground becoming progressively more suited to rough grazing as it extends northwards, eventually giving way to more rugged, craggy hill terrain. Some of the land near the natural waterways are characterised as being marshy. The fields are of a good practical size, predominantly enclosed by post and wire fencing and stone dykes. The land is accessed via the Old Military road with further field-to-field accesses.
