The Highland Council access officer has been contacted about the fact that it is not always possible to access the footpath behind the Distillery as the gates are sometimes closed. In order to maintain access to this footpath it is important to establish that it is  a public right of way that has been used for many years. As such, it would be great if people that have used the the route in the past could contact the Access Officer giving details of how long they have been using it and how important it is to remain in use. Apparently, access to the route used to be where the cycleway bridge now stands, so one option may be for the distillery to reinstate some easier access there. Anyway, all support would be much appreciated. Please contact;
