The wood is primarily composed of a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees, creating a rich tapestry of colors throughout the year.

The wood offers several well-maintained walking trails, allowing visitors to explore its enchanting surroundings. These paths meander through the forest, crossing babbling brooks and leading to charming clearings with benches for relaxation.

Woodland at Scarlaw Looking east from the Fallago Rig Wind Farm access road, east of Twinlaw. Watch Water Reservoir can be seen through the trees, and the hill in the right distance is Dirrington Great Law [5.3km].

Road to Scarlaw Although tarmacked this is not a public road. Part of the Southern Upland Way and also the most easterly route of the Herring Road. This is the view west just after leaving the fishery at Watch Water Reservoir, and in the distance you can just make out Twin Law, though not the cairns on this hill.

Leaving Wind Farm Access Track Looking south on the Southern Upland Way just as it is about to head west towards Twin Law and leave the wide wind farm access track. The track heads to Weddelie and Westruther on the B6456.
