Huntlywood

I'm sorry to say that for reasons of health and age the Huntlywood business is no longer in operation.

A tale of two prices.

The seedbed barley fertiliser is around 30% more expensive than it was in January (if you can get it).
The kiln dried Larch behind it is the same price as it was this time last year.
And don't even mention the increase in the cost of heating oil and gas!

Good firewood was always an excellent option for keeping your house warm. Recent events have only reinforced the fact.
And here at Huntlywood the sheds are well stocked with both top quality Larch and Birch, available as always for delivery or collection.

First the snow, then the ice but now at last the Larch and Birch into the sheds so a start can be made to clearing a substantial backlog. It's been a difficult start to 2026.

As some of you may already be aware we lost my partner in the business, Bill Harvie on January 5th after a short illness. Bill had been an integral part of Huntlywood since the beginning almost 15 years ago when we two retired neighbours bought a load of firewood for our own use and to supply our respective families, then finding we had more than enough for ourselves decided to try selling the odd trailer load.
So grew a business which acquired a great number of loyal customers, many of whom we came to regard as friends. The business will continue in the meantime but will never be the same, and I will miss Bill terribly.
Bill's funeral is at Baldarroch crematorium, Banchory on Wednesday 21st at 11:30am.
