“She had great vision and drive and recognised what could be achieved in these special ancient woodlands for the benefit of people and nature and I am sure if she was still with us today she would be thrilled to see access to the Cormonachan Falls and Medieval Settlement opened up for current and future generations to enjoy and appreciate.”
