Queens View<\/p><\/div>Queen\u2019s View Visitor Centre is now closed for the winter but work will soon start to prepare the site for the ground works that make up the first part of the Visitor Centre refurbishment programme.<\/p>\n
Part of the preparations will include some felling work, which will take place over the winter, and site signage will soon be in place to remind people to keep out for their own safety.<\/p>\n
Hamish Murray, for the Commission\u2019s team in Tay, said: \u201cThis is the start of the effort to refurbish the Visitor Centre so all things are go \u2013 but it\u2019s important that people observe the warning signs and steer clear of the site.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe won\u2019t be felling all the time, and we might not be on site all the time, but the site will still be hazardous \u2013 and we don\u2019t want anyone to get hurt \u2013 or any vehicles to get damaged. People should remember that signage is there for their own benefit.\u201d<\/p>\n
An information evening will be held in Pitlochry\u2019s Fisher\u2019s Hotel on Monday 21 January (7 \u2013 9pm) and anyone interested in learning more about the refurbishment and the work involved, will be welcome to attend.<\/p>\n
Although the Queen\u2019s View site will be completely closed in February and March 2013, visitors can still get out and about in the area and enjoy a spectacular view by travelling a little further along the road to Allean Forest Trail<\/a>.<\/p>\n Hamish added: \u201cThe viewpoint from the car park doesn\u2019t quite match the Queen\u2019s View, but it is certainly a stunning spot, so why not visit Aillean instead and discover this often over-looked forest. It\u2019s well worth it!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Queen\u2019s View Visitor Centre is now closed for the winter but work will soon start to prepare the site for the ground works that make up the first part of the Visitor Centre refurbishment programme.
