Building work has now begun for a new car park near the site of the old Ben Lawers Visitor Centre which was demolished last year. The Mountaineering Council of Scotland reports that the new car park will be located in a more discrete position and is due to completed by early 2012. In addition a dry stone enclosure will be built on the path leading from the car park to the nature trail which will provide an interpretive display about Ben Lawers. Toilets will not be provided at the new car park which is being constructed by the nature reserve owners, the National Trust for Scotland. A full route description and map for Ben Lawers can be found on Walkhighlands.
