ROAD FROM BLAIR ATHOLL TO JUBILEE RIFLE RANGE
After turning off the village road opposite the Bridge of Tilt Hotel, you are on a narrow, winding public road with passing places. Drive slowly and cautiously for your own protection.
After you turn left at Old Bridge of Tilt, take the hairpin bend VERY slowly: there have been several head-on near misses.
You are on a narrow road used only by estate staff and residents. Please keep to 20mph on this road until you reach a "crossroads", where you turn right up the hill past the Home Farm.
IT IS ESSENTIAL TO KEEP TO FIFTEEN (15) MPH BETWEEN THE “CROSSROADS” AND THE RANGE.
Fifteen mph may seem painfully slow when driving, but the time lost is less than two minutes. It is particularly important to observe the limit when passing the Home Farm cottages, and Blairuachdar Steading (the large farm steading on the left at the top of the hill above the Home Farm).
Be especially careful when coming down the hill after leaving the range. There have been complaints about irresponsible driving by range users, which threaten the good relations we must maintain.
ROAD CONDITIONS
The road from Blair Atholl to Jubilee Range is maintained only as far as Blairuachdar (the last farm steading on the left, before you enter the forestry). Beyond Blairuachdar, the road is severely rutted and pot-holed. Two cars have suffered severe sump damage in the past few years.
This stretch of road is easily passable in a 4x4 and is passable with care and sensible driving in most saloon cars. Drivers of low saloon cars, heavily-laden saloon cars and sports cars should take extreme care on this stretch, and should consider leaving their vehicles in Blair Atholl (NB there is no parking at Blairuachdar) and arranging a lift with a 4x4 owner.
Neither Scottish Target Shooting, West Atholl Rifle Club nor Atholl Estates shall be responsible for any damage to vehicles caused by the road conditions.
