Atholl Estates Ranger services is available to lead class visits to the estate. This facility is provided free of charge. Sessions will usually be one hour and group sizes will usually be a maximum of 16 pupils. Sessions are listed below, however, we will happily tailor a session to suit your requirements. We have a small indoor space but it can only accommodate about half a class so most sessions will be outdoors. We have an area with picnic tables and toilets at our Ranger Centre. We can also arrange school visits with Highland Perthshire.
