The Visitor Centre, on the east side of the Pass, tells both the story of the rich natural history of the Pass and the story of the battle. On 27 July 1689 the peace and tranquillity of this beautiful gorge was shattered when the first shots in the Jacobite cause were fired. One soldier escaped by making a spectacular jump across the River Garry at the spot now known as Soldier’s Leap. The Visitor Centre features ‘hands-on’ natural history exhibits, models and maps of the battle. Also, see nesting birds at close range.
