An Engineered Landscape: A country retreat of the Victorian engineer Sir John Fowler (RC)
25 September 2023
Starts: 13:30
Ends: 14:30

Join a member of the National Trust for Scotland's Ranger team for a guided walk around Corrieshalloch Gorge National Nature Reserve, which was once part of the Highland estate of the Victorian engineer Sir John Fowler, chief engineer of the Forth Bridge and Metropolitan Railway.  Exploring along Lady Fowler’s Fern Walk, we will look at how the Fowler family transformed the landscape, using engineering techniques to create a haven for sport and pleasure.  The route is on a gravel surface, which is rough in places, and includes steps and stone cross drains that need to be stepped over with care.  Suitable footwear and outdoor clothing are required, along with midge repellent/headnets depending on the weather.  We will meet at the overflow car park and the walk will finish by the suspension bridge, so that you are then free to explore the Reserve further in your own time. 

Meeting place: Overflow car park, Corrieshalloch Gorge (OS Grid Ref: NH 20210 77986) - Parking is free for NTS members, or £5 for non-members

Free - Donations welcome - Recommended donation of £5, paid through Eventbrite page (see link below)
