Forestry Commission Scotland’s flagship centre, Glentress Peel, has been given a Gold star rating in the Green Tourism Business Scheme.
The gold star rating is the highest possible within the scheme and is acknowledgement that the visitor centre development is built and managed on eco-friendly principles.

"We're delighted to award Forestry Commission Scotland with the Gold award for its stunning Glentress Peel development.

for the outdoor visitors that it caters for. The Commission has approached the whole development on sustainable principles and its green credentials are just what we would like to see replicated elswhere."
