Topography
Balavil is very fortunate in having the Raitts burn that flows down the centre spine of the Estate. This burn runs in a gulley and the majority of drives are located within. This offers reasonably easy access and some challenging partridge and pheasant drives.
Conservation Efforts
Balavil Estate have planted over 330,000 native trees on the hill ground as part of a regeneration programme. The guns will be able to see this work when they are on the 4 Bridges Drive. If they are lucky they may be able to see our resident Golden Eagle or the Sea Eagle that regularly passes over the Estate.
The Estate are keen supporters of the peatland restoration programme and have just completed the latest section.
