Slugain Burn outline design summary report

This document contains a non-technical summary of the outline design for the Slugain Burn river restoration project, which was commissioned by The Highland Council. The project aims to realign 1km of the Slugain Burn, which is a tributary of the River Dulnain, to give it a more natural shape, and to replace a vehicle bridge with a new one that can handle flood flows and sediment. The goal is to maintain access during storms and reduce maintenance costs. The new bridge should also improve access for the community, enhance biodiversity and habitats, and restore natural river and floodplain processes. The Slugain Burn project is partly funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) and is part of the Cairngorms National Park Authority's Cairngorms 2030 programme.
