Kirkton Woodland is situated immediately adjacent to Lochcarron village in Wester Ross. The 93 Hectare woodland sits in a prominent position in terms of landscape and forms a backfrop to the village. The history of the community's involvement in the potential community acquisition of Kirkton Woodland was initially triggered by the decision by Forestry Commission, Scotland to sell the woodland around 2000/2001. Due to difficulties with access there was little interest shown and the community began to look at the potential for community acquisition.
