Glenshee

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Glenshee (Gaelic: Gleann Sìdh) is a glen in eastern Perth and Kinross, Scotland through which flows the Shee Water. The Spittal of Glenshee marks the head of the glen in the north. Settlements in the glen include Finegand, Dalnaglar, Lair, Cray, Mountblair, Blacklunans and Dalrulzian. Glenshee opens out into the Forest of Alyth down into the Strathmore valley.

Glenshee Ski Centre is located on either side of the Cairnwell Pass five miles north of the Spittal of Glenshee.

Glenshee has long been a haven for skiers and snowboarders but with recent warm winters the number of skiable days has been severely reduced, plans are afoot to expand into mountain biking with the developers agreeing, in principle, to the building of a new chairlift and gondola system.
