Kirroughtree catering

Forestry Commission Scotland is currently tendering for businesses to run the catering at all the visitor centres in the Galloway Forest Park.
 
We are hoping to get caterers in at Kirroughtree as soon as possible and at Clatteringshaws and Glentrool once the centres are fully open, hopefuly at the end of July.  
 
In the meantime, if you are visiting Kirroughtree, you can still get light refreshments from the Breakpad bikeshop.
 
We apologise for any inconvenience whilst the construction work to upgrade and build all the centres is carrying on. We promise to keep the website up to date to keep everyone informed of any changes.
