In 1689 the tranquility of this beautiful gorge was shattered when the first shots in the Jacobite cause were fired. The Highlanders were victorious but their leader 'Bonnie Dundee' died early in the battle.   Perched on a shelf of the glen, the Trust's new Visitor Centre features 'hands-on' natural history exhibits, models and maps of the battle, and woodland management displays. During the summer, the Trust's ranger service offers an exciting programme of guided walks.   Open: Site: all year, daily. Visitor Centre: 1 Apr to 31 Oct, daily 10-5.30.   Travel Directions: 3 miles north of Pitlochry on the B8079 (old A9).
