"Of woods, nurseries or plantations [Templecarn] is at present completely destitute, thought there is every appearance of it having been formerly well supplied with timber. To iron works formerly carried on in the neighbourhood, the present bare appearance of the country is chiefly to be ascribed. There are few orchards and these very diminutive indeed. From the few samples that are to be met with, it is to be presumed that reeds would thrive tolerably well. Oak, ash, poplars seem to suit the climate best, as also all the different species of fir, Scotch and larch particularly."
