Giving Glencoe a fresh focus

In plans submitted to Highland Council, the visitor centre at Glencoe will be transformed by improvements that will allow visitors to learn about the world-famous site in a more immersive way than the current centre.

Glencoe’s wildlife, historical importance and cultural significance will be presented in a fresh, imaginative way, enhancing the current visitor centre which was constructed 16 years ago.

Chief Executive Simon Skinner said that the investment will provide visitors with a much-improved experience at one of Scotland’s most significant national and natural treasures.

The project is part of the Trust’s five-year, £57 million programme to improve visitor experience and the condition of the heritage in its care.

If the plans are approved, work will get underway in the autumn of 2018.

The National Trust for Scotland works every day to protect Scotland’s national and natural treasures. From coastlines to castles, art to architecture, wildlife to wilderness, we protect all of this for the Love of Scotland.

In Our Strategy for Protecting Scotland’s Heritage 2018–23, we set out how we’re planning to work towards our vision that Scotland’s heritage is valued by everyone and protected now, and for future generations.
