Location Info
Devilla Forest in Fife is a conifer plantation with several small lochs and a well-developed network of forestry tracks. Managed by Forestry and Land Scotland, it is known for wide gravel roads and accessible waymarked routes.
Terrain is gently rolling, reflecting the low hills east of Kincardine. Surfaces are mostly firm gravel forestry roads.
Please remember the forest roads are quite narrow and park well to the side to allow other vehicles to pass. Please also remember this forest is well used by local dog walkers, ample warning signs will be placed to the forest entrances but we must be prepared for pedestrians – both two and four legged kind!
Course Description
The surface is generally very good, mostly hard packed shale or earth with plenty of passing room, boots should not be required for fit feet. Not a demanding trail, mainly flat or undulating with lots of turns and interest for the dogs.
Depending on trails used, there may be one or two sharp bends for the B & C classes. The forest is popular with walkers, especially on Sundays. Although there have been no problems to date, good manners are vital if we are to keep this venue.
Directions
The forest lies adjacent to the north side of the A985 Kincardine-on-Forth to Dunfermline road, approximately 1.5 miles east of Kincardine. Entrance to the forest will be signposted.
SHCGB
The Siberian Husky Club of Great Britain (SHCGB) is the UK’s national breed club dedicated to the promotion and welfare of the Siberian Husky. Formed with the permission of The Kennel Club in 1977, the organisation was established to educate owners, encourage responsible breeding and promote the working heritage of the breed in the United Kingdom.
The club brings together enthusiasts, breeders and owners who share an interest in Siberian Huskies, whether for companionship, showing or working activities. It organises Open and Championship dog shows each year and supports winter working rallies where owners and their dogs can participate in harness activities and trail events.
Alongside its events, the club provides guidance on responsible ownership, breeding ethics and the health of the breed. Through education, shows and working activities, the Siberian Husky Club of Great Britain works to preserve the characteristics and traditional capabilities that define the Siberian Husky as a northern working dog.
