The wood at Magus Muir is called Bishop's Wood not because it is where Archbishop Sharp was murdered by Covenanters but because it was once owned by the local bishop.  It is south of Strathkinness.

​

The wood has a good variety of tree species, but is primarily birch woodland.  Patches of wild raspberry and strawberry attract many insects, as do the hogweed flowers along the paths.  Although the lack of open moorland limits the biodiversity, a surprising variety of hoverfly species occurs there.  The woodland to the east of the car park is privately owned, and attracts some common species of hoverfly and butterfly that do not occur elsewhere because of the presence of wasteland weeds and garden escapes such as buddleia along the track.
