The Glencoe Wood Nature Reserve
Laird, Lords and Ladies of Glencoe made it possible - It's open to all visitors
The first Nature Reserve in Glencoe Wood, opened in 2007, is made up of thousands of plots which are supported by a global community of Lairds, Lords and Ladies. This land is free to visit but for the best possible experience we recommend that you become a Laird, Lord or Lady of Glencoe.
This reserve, located just 10 miles from the historic Glencoe, is also an established 4 star visitor attraction and we encourage you to visit and see the progress your support has made possible.
This nature reserve is sustained by the ongoing support of the over 250,000+ community members. With the purchase of every plot, we are able to work with our partners to plant more trees, build more shelters for the animals that inhabit the reserves, and progress in our efforts to conserve the land for future generations as well as offer a unique and charming gift to those who support the progress of our efforts.
Visit The Nature Reserve
Whether you're dropping by to visit your plot or just looking for a beautiful place to spend the afternoon, the Glencoe Wood Nature Reserve couldn't be easier to find. We're well signposted on all main roads and area a reasonable distance from many popular destinations in Scotland!
Our Meet and Greet Service is a very special offering especially for our community and allows all our Lords, Ladies and Lairds to visit their plot of land with an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. This service must be booked well in advance as this is run by our very busy volunteers. Particularly in summer months, we can become fully booked sometimes months in advance. A voucher is included in your pack (in all 10 and 100sqft plots) – or can be purchased before you visit.To book an appointment, simply fill out the request form and we will be in contact.
The local Visitor's Centre
You may, of course, visit your plot without the special Meet & Greet Service but we truly feel the experience is enriched with the added benefits of a guide. Everyone owning 10 square feet or more receives a voucher for one free trip. Vouchers are also available to purchase for a small sum. You are also welcome to enjoy the amenities of our Visitors' Centre, located at the reserve’s main entrance.
