The popular Scottish ski centre is a ghost town after the Scottish Government recently announced new COVID-19 restrictions.

Having been forced to close due to restrictions, footage filmed on January 7 shows Glenshee Ski Centre silent, with the ski lifts at a standstill with their seats swaying in the breeze.

The centre is officially closed and has advised people not to travel there. The car park has been blocked off and the centre has tried its best to discourage people travelling.

A notice on the Glenshee website advises all possible visitors that all bookings have been suspended until the new lockdown restrictions are lifted.

"The roads surrounding the area were empty today. Lacking their normal seasonal traffic, in its place just the occasional articulated lorry transporting its load," the filmer explained.

Having been forced to close due to the latest Scottish Government COVID 19 regulations, Glenshee Ski Centre is silent. Where in more normal times the slopes would be filled with ski and snowboarders enjoying the latest dumping of fresh snow.

However, all that can be seen and heard now is the wind and wildlife, along with the hum of a single piste machine. With the ski lifts at a standstill with their seats swaying in the breeze, the centre hopes to be able to welcome visitors again soon.

In the meantime, the centre is officially closed and has advised people not to travel there. The carpark has been blocked off and the centre has tried its best to discourage people travelling.

A notice on the Glenshee website (www.ski-glenshee.co.uk) advises all would-be visitors that all bookings have been suspended until the new lockdown restrictions are lifted, any bookings from 5th to 31st Jan have been cancelled and an automatic refund given.
