Glen Tanar Visitor Centre Shows Off Brand New Look Following £100,000 Refurbishment
Glen Tanar Visitor Centre is set to provide a much improved and more dynamic experience for the thousands of people who visit the popular Deeside glen every year following the completion of a £150,000 refurbishment. The new-look centre, which is more sustainable and accessible as a result of the renovation work, will be unveiled at an official opening on August 21, 2012 at 11.30am.
The centre, which is just a few miles outside Aboyne, has been completely transformed, with fascinating visual and audio-visual displays about Glen Tanar, its geography, wildlife and people. It is also the permanent base for the Glen Tanar Ranger Service.
The refurbishment has been made possible as a result of funding from the Glen Tanar Charitable Trust, Cairngorms Outdoor Access Trust, Scottish Natural Heritage, Cairngorms National Park Authority and finance from the Scottish Government and the European Community Cairngorms Local Action Group LEADER 2007-2013 Programme.
The interior of the centre has been completely overhauled, with a bright and fresh open plan appearance which is much more suited to working with groups in a more sociable setting. Follow the link below to see how it looks:
