Inveruglas Visitor Centre car-park closed


Postby jim hutcheson » Tue Sep 24, 2019 2:17 pm

Passed the Inveruglas Visitor Centre car-park yesterday and noticed that the facility was shut and a barrier had been placed across the entrance.Is anyone aware if this is a short term measure ?Would say this will cause problems if you want to access Ben Vane and Ben Vorlich.Can't find any information online to give an answer.

I suppose it is too much to hope that they are devoting some of the squillions they got from the charge to resurfacing or extending it.?

I saw that on Saturday on the way past, looked like there was a notice on the metal fences blocking both entrances. On the way back there were loads of cars on the grass verge and pavement opposite the power station so care needed on a busy day.

It is closed "until late October" to refurbish the car park / toilets, according to https://www.lochlomond-trossachs.org/park-authority/blog/national-park-authority-invests-visitor-facilities/

At least we know it's opening up again,hopefully they don't see this as an opportunity to bump up the parking charges when it re-opens.

Does anyone know if Inveruglas reopened as planned?
