Barriers are already being lifted at some key countryside properties, such as Corrieshalloch Gorge and Ben Lawers, for local access (within 5 miles). Staff are planning for this now, making sure processes are in place to ensure the safety of all visitors and to uphold social distancing, particularly in enclosed grounds and gardens. Due to the impact of the coronavirus epidemic on our charity, we are phasing the reopening of our places over the coming months with around half due to open again later this year, more in spring 2021, and a few remaining closed until 2022.

Trust properties have been closed since March due to the coronavirus emergency. We're sharing plans for reopening over the coming weeks and months, in line with Scottish Government guidance. Check website for details.
