Works begin at Kingsteps Quarry

Improvement works have started at Kingsteps Quarry in Nairn today to brighten the popular leisure spot.

Cllr Paul Oldham, Nairnshire Area Vice Chair said: “Kingsteps Quarry is a semi-wild open space used by the people of Nairn for all sorts of activities including building camps, jogging, mountain biking, and dog walking, and also provides an active travel route to Kingsteps (and the wild raspberries in the late summer are also delicious!). However, the paths have been neglected in recent years and were well overdue some maintenance work so I'm glad this project is going ahead."

The planned works which start today (Monday 17 February 2025) are scheduled to last for approximately two weeks.

Once complete, Lochloy residents and visitors will enjoy a tidier path network, and the trimming of some bush overgrowth will help to restore the paths to their original width to help with access.
