EAGLECAM
Visit the Information Centre to see our Eaglecam. We have a camera filming an eagle's nest on the estate, 24 hours a day, through the breeding season. The picture is then beamed by satellite to a screen at the Centre. This is a project funded and managed by the Tayside Raptor Study Group, Natural Research and Scottish Natural Heritage to gather more information on what golden eagles eat and what they feed to their chicks. 2 eggs were laid in March, and the parents are sitting on them. They should hatch between end April and early May.

FALLS OF BRUAR
The path at the Falls of Bruar has now been upgraded substantially. The path as far as the lower bridge and lower Falls is now suitable for buggies and electric wheelchairs / mobility vehicles.
Beyond the lower bridge, the path has been improved in places but still has rough and steep sections.
New interpretation will be coming to the site soon.

WEST LODGE FOOTBRIDGE
The footbridge at West Lodge, 2 miles west of Blair Atholl, has now been removed, as it was unsafe. The Council are putting in a temporary diversion via Bruar to get you across the river. But beware, as this will add approx. 3 miles to your trip. This will affect you particularly if you are going from Blair Atholl to Loch Bhac.
