Glenmore reopens and the Scottish Government announce £3 million for business recovery
The Glenmore corridor is open, thanks to the huge effort of businesses, volunteers and partner organisations who have worked tirelessly to make the area safe and prepare for reopening.
The Scottish Government has also announced a package of £3 million for business recovery, providing vital support to local businesses after a very difficult time. This was announced yesterday afternoon, following a meeting with community leaders and Cabinet Secretary Stephen Flynn.
Grant, our CEO, shared an update on the shores of Loch Morlich
Businesses in the Glenmore area are glad to be welcoming visitors back today, though some areas directly impacted by the fire will continue to be fenced off and restricted for safety.
Working with partners at RSPB and Forestry and Land Scotland, we've created a helpful map that provides more information on what paths and trails remain closed and cordoned off, as recovery efforts continue.
