Information on trail closures and diversions, changes to scheduled events, and forest operations.
Tree Harvesting at Glentrool
Harvesting operations are taking place at Glentrool. There will be timber lorries and harvesting machines working in this area. Although we hope to minimise diversions on paths/trails, please check the trail diversions information below.
Please adhere to all on site signage and take extra care. Any diversions that do have to be implemented will be noted here and on the 7stanes website if trail routes are affected.
Winter weather
Most of the snow has now lifted from low lying areas. In thaw conditions snow and debris falling from trees and branches will be a hazard.
Visitors should make their own assessments based on foot wear and conditions before entering the forest environment.
Visitor centres
Glentrool: the visitor centre and toilets are now closed for the season until 11th March 2010.
Kirroughtree: visitor centre closed for the season until 11th March 2010. Toilets still open.
Clatteringshaws: the visitor centre is closed for the season until 11th March 2010.
Trail closures

Trail diversions
The Southern Upland Way section of the Loch Trool green trail is diverted due to forest operations. This will be in place for roughly two months. Please follow diversion signs on the ground. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
