To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the construction of the suspension bridge at Corrieshalloch Gorge by Sir John Fowler, Ulluminate is working with National Trust Scotland to present a special event. Sir John Fowler lived at Braemore House and originally owned the gorge site. He experimented with bridge and tunnel designs locally (still to be seen today) in his preparations to design Edinburgh’s Forth Bridge and engineering London’s first underground line.

Join us at Corrieshalloch Gorge visitor centre for a free guided walk to the bridge describing the cultural landscape of the Fowler family and about John Calder who bought Braemore from the Fowlers and gifted the gorge site to the nation via National Trust Scotland.

Start at: 1.30pm at carpark 2 located here

The walk will last an hour and visitors can then explore the new and old paths to experience the precipitous Falls of Measach and other views of this incredible natural feature of our local landscape.

• There will be an arts and crafts drop-in session at the visitor centre during the day with activities around how bridges work as a structure. 

• Car parking is free for NTS members; or by donation at the ticket machines

• The café will be open as usual for the purchase of food and drink.

There are good paths that go up and down at Corrieshalloch Gorge but wear good shoes and look after children and dogs. Those with vertigo should be aware that there are steep views.

This event is free but please obtain a ticket to give us an idea of numbers.
