Gourdie Land Management Plan

Gourdie, previously known as Gourdie Farm, is located on the western fringe of Dundee. It's close to the communities of Birkhill and Muirhead to its North, Liff to its west and the Wester Gourdie Industrial Estate to the south. The eastern edge is boundaried by Camperdown Country Park.

The site is currently urban fringe, surrounded by a mix of housing, light industry, farmland and woodland. Over time the area will become more urban as planned developments are completed. This plan includes a small amount of planting to help establish public access across the site. Most of the land will remain in agricultural use for the next three years.

This land management plan was approved in June 2016, and covers the 10 year period from June 2016 to June 2026.
