No matter your age or fitness level, we can deliver a walking excursion to suit your fitness level (and the weather!) - from sheltered forest walks and riverside strolls, all the way to demanding high-level walking on the Grampian plateau. That’s the real beauty of Blairgowrie and East Perthshire.
Walking trails in and round towns, Forestry Commission signposted and waymarked tracks, ancient rights of way leading deep into the hills, plus the challenging mountains - including at least a dozen Munros - that lie east of the A9 and are accessed from Glenshee; all of these are possibilities for walkers.
We’re especially proud of the Cateran Trail. The name was originally ceatharn in Gaelic and meant a band of soldiers, but came to mean a Highland freebooter or cattle thief. As you walk this circular route that penetrates the Highland hills, you’re walking in the footsteps these Highlanders of old who would come down to the farms of the Lowland edge, ‘lift’ the cattle and drive them back into their rugged territory.
Dedicated walkers can take 4-5 days to walk its entire length, but it can easily be broken into stages. And it’s clearly waymarked – look for the red heart logo – through farmland, forest and moorland, using ancient tracks and drove roads, rights of way and minor roads.
