Cateran Trail

Experience the best of Scottish country life, abundant wildlife, wide open spaces and small highland villages on The Cateran Trail. This 64 mile waymarked circular walk through Highland Perthshire and the Angus Glens uses old drove roads and existing paths to explore one of Scotland’s forgotten corners. The word Cateran translates to “cattle rustlers” who caused havoc from the Middle Ages until the 17th century driving stolen cattle and booty through these remote glens. Follow in their footsteps today as you explore this beautiful land.

Your journey begins in Blairgowrie, a pretty market town which straddles the River Ericht. From Blairgowrie you walk to Bridge of Cally, Kirkmichael, Enochdhu (which means black meadow or moor), Spittal of Glenshee, Kirton of Glenisla, Alyth and finally return to Blairgowrie at the end of a rewarding 64 miles.
