Bloodylaws Plantation, located in Roxburghshire, is a sprawling woodland area known for its natural beauty and rich history. Covering a vast expanse, the plantation is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts and wildlife lovers.

The name "Bloodylaws" is believed to have originated from a dark event that took place in the area during the medieval times. However, the plantation itself has a much more serene atmosphere today. It is characterized by dense forests, towering trees, and a network of well-maintained trails that allow visitors to explore the area at their own pace.

The woodland is primarily composed of a mix of native tree species, including oak, birch, beech, and pine.

The trails are popular among hikers, joggers, and cyclists, providing an opportunity to immerse oneself in the tranquil surroundings. Picnic areas and viewpoints are scattered throughout the plantation, allowing visitors to relax and enjoy the breathtaking views.
