A £1 million appeal has been launched by a conservation charity bidding to buy a second side of the Devil’s Beef Tub in Dumfriesshire.
Borders Forest Trust wants to purchase just over 115 hectares of the dramatic hollow in the hills above Moffat as part of its aim to restore denuded landscape into a wildwood flourishing with plants and animals – as it would have been centuries ago.
The land they are fundraising for includes the northern portion of Ericstane Farm and the ancient wood pasture which is known locally as The Dairy Wood.
