Currie Wood

Currie Wood is located in Borthwick Glen, near the village of Borthwick, 3km south east of Gorebridge in Midlothian. The dominant aspect is northerly, with lesser areas of south, east, and west facing slopes. The site is situated within the steep-sided, sheltered valley of the Middleton South Burn which runs through the wood in a northerly direction for about 500m and then in a westerly direction for another 1000m. Parts of the wood are inaccessible with gradients of 40 degrees or more in some places.
