A funding boost has been given to 16 new projects to help improve Scotland’s timber transport infrastructure, decarbonise the forestry sector and take pressure off rural roads.
The projects should create new haulage routes away from busy villages, build passing places on narrow roads, upgrade existing fragile roads and promote the shipping of timber by sea.
Timber transport projects in Argyllshire, Perthshire, Dumfries and Galloway, Scottish Borders, Ayrshire and the Highlands will share in the £4m funding.
