PATH DIVERSION

The riverside path, from Braeloine Centre downstream, is closed temporarily, because of tree felling.
You can still use most of this path, following the signs out from Braeloine, but then diverting away from the riverbank on the return section.
A map is on display at Braeloine showing the precise line of diversion, and there are signs on the route itself.
It will probably be about a week, from today, 25th January, to complete the work
A map of the paths is available from the Glen Tanar Estate website- click on the link below

DIGITISING THE PAST



House Party with Sir William Cunliffe-Brooks, who bought Glen Tanar Estate in the 19th Century
We have recently taken delivery of an automatic sheet feed scanner, and a slide scanner. This will let us digitise typescript historical material, and old slides and photographs.
This will let folk have access to the material, whilst protecting the originals.
Funding for the equipment came from Cairngorms LEADER. The project is being managed by Glen Tanar Ranger Service. We welcome volunteer help with the digitising process.
