This ambitious redevelopment will transform the centre into a first-class visitor experience. Plans include expanding the centre to include a new cafe, shop, major new exhibition, versatile function space and improved parking and access.
In preparation for re-opening in 2026, 2025 will be a busy year:
- Construction works continue: Lewis Builders will be ready to re-open the Visitor centre in 2026
- New Exhibition designed: our designers - Bright - are busy working on the new and much improved exhibition
- Access and paths improved: UnT and Historic Environment Scotland are improving the paths to and around the stones
- Community activities continue: thanks to funding from the national lottery heritage Fund
It's going to be worth the wait!
