The Trustees of the Scottish Dark Sky Observatory (SDSO) are delighted to announce that their application to Dumfries & Galloway Council for planning permission to redevelop the former Clatteringshaws Visitor Centre complex has been granted.
This planning permission will allow the Trustees to press ahead with their plans to redevelop and extend the former FLS Clatteringshaws Visitor Centre, near New Galloway, to create an astronomical observatory, planetarium and visitor centre in the heart of the internationally recognised Galloway Forest Dark Sky Park.
Further project updates will be released as they become available.
