LOCATION Kingside Loch is located near the northern edge of Craik Forest in a secluded part of the Scottish Borders. The market town of Hawick is just 13 miles away and provides access to all amenities and accommodation. The property is shown on the location and sale plan to the rear of these particulars and can be found on OS Sheet 1:50,000 Number 79, Grid Reference NT 341 134. ACCESS From Hawick, travel south on the A7 for approximately 2.5 miles before taking a right turn over the bridge onto the B711. Continue for a further 8.5 miles to point A1, shown on the sale plan to the rear of this brochure. Turn left onto the entrance to Craik Forest, owned by Forestry Commission Scotland, and continue along the forest road for approximately 3 miles to point A2, where access to the Loch can be gained on foot. Access is granted by a prescriptive right of access and maintenance is according to user. DESCRIPTION Kingside Loch is a serene wildlife haven in an attractive woodland setting. Its wetland provides a habitat teeming with flora and fauna and is ideal for a keen sport fisher, conservationist or outdoor enthusiast. The Loch has, in the past, been stocked with Brown trout and provides an excellent opportunity to continue stocking the Loch or simply managing the wild stock.
