We LOVE the Woodlands Estate and we’re so proud of the environment that we have inherited. That’s why we consider it our duty to protect it for future generations. We’re making it our MISSION to become a net zero business. We aim to encourage our team, the local community and our golfers and guests to an ever-increased awareness of (and appreciation for) the environment.

The legend of the Bheithir
Beinn a’ Bheithir stands proudly behind the Woodlands Estate. The mountain range was named after the Bheithir, a local dragon who lived in Corrie Liath (a great bowl-shaped hollow on the face of the mountain). Bheithir guarded the mountain, tearing all passersby to pieces if they dared come too close. Bheithir was eventually defeated by Charles the Skipper – but unbeknown to him, she had recently birthed a baby dragon, who, years later, went on to lay a few eggs!
Unfortunately for the dragons, a local farmer discovered the eggs and set fire to them, leading to the death of the young. Upon witnessing the sight the mother stretched herself on a flat rock near the shore and continued to lash the rock with her tail until she killed herself. The rock is still known as the Dragon’s Rock.
