New forestry road There has been a lot of new forestry planted in the vicinity and many new roads have been constructed. This one, like others, is marked on the 1:50000 scale map but not at 1:25000 scale.

Replacement fence Not much remains of the original metal-poled fencing. The forestry on Alwhat will soon be joined by many new trees planted in the nearby glens.
