Selm Muir
Mostly level forest roads and paths make a woodland outing near Kirknewton, with mature pines, young trees and birds to look for. Families can choose a walk through this working forest without following a fixed trail.
Before you go
There are no waymarked trails. Paths can be uneven and muddy. Only layby parking is available. Large forestry lorries need turning space, so leave both access tracks clear. Check for ticks after your visit and remove them promptly.
