After the recent storms and high winds there has been quite a significant amount of damage to the steps and one of the footbridges at Fowlsheugh. We're decided to close the reserve until we can repair the damage and make the path safe for visitors again.
Replacing the footbridge will be quite a major job so the reserve may be closed for a few weeks. It will be open again well in advance of the seabird season so no one will miss out on seeing the reserve at its best. If you were planning on visiting in the next few weeks then please check the website for the latest news and pay attention to any signs on the reserve warning of the closure.
