Low Plantation is a picturesque forest located in Dumfriesshire, Scotland. Covering an area of approximately 300 acres, this woodland is a haven for nature enthusiasts and outdoor lovers. The forest is predominantly made up of native Scottish trees such as oak, birch, and pine, creating a diverse and vibrant ecosystem.

Visitors to Low Plantation can enjoy a network of walking trails that wind through the trees, offering stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The forest is home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, red squirrels, and a wide range of bird species, making it a popular spot for birdwatching and wildlife photography.

In addition to its natural beauty, Low Plantation also has a rich history. The area has been used for timber production for centuries, and remnants of old sawmills and logging camps can still be found scattered throughout the forest.

Whether you're looking for a peaceful stroll through the woods, a chance to spot some wildlife, or a glimpse into the region's past, Low Plantation offers something for everyone to enjoy.

Old milestone This milestone once had more white paint on the stone. Although sunken in the verge it is fairly easy to spot just west of the lane that leads to Howthat. The damage to the top left hand side was probably done many years ago.

Old milestone The plate of the Annan 10 milestone has come adrift. The top right hand corner of the plate was broken off long ago and now more is lost. Travelling towards Annan the milestone is south of Mousewald just beyond a lane on the right to Townfoot. It is near a little bridge and a small lay-by. As the plate has recently come off, the way these plates were fixed to the stones is clearly shown.
