The riverside loop on the Seven Bridges Walk, between Bridge of Gairn and the junction near Polhollick Bridge is closed due to a section washing away in flooding.  An alternate route is already shown as part of the walk route, please use this alternate high route parallel to the A93 instead.

The railway level crossing at Dalwhinnie – at the walkers car park NN 633 846 – has been closed by Network Rail. An alternative point to cross the railway is via the underpass to the south at the Ben Alder cottages (NN 634 841). More information.

• Dalwhinnie waymarked walks:
  - the Loch Ericht Walk loop is no longer possible due to the level crossing closure
  - to reach the start of the Forest Walk and Coachan Wood Viewpoint the above diversion to the railway underpass is required

Significant storm damage and windblown trees from the winter storms – clearance works underway but still many restrictions and path closures.
