In October 2006 the route was improved with an 8-mile off-road section replacing the road slog from Dalnaglar to Kirkton of Glenisla. Our upgrade card has detailed directions and mapping and is inserted free with all new orders. Customers who bought the book elsewhere/long ago can obtain one by contacting us.
The Cateran Trail is a circular walk of 64 miles (103 km) starting in Blairgowrie, near Perth, following in the footsteps of cattle-rustlers (caterans). This waymarked Trail follows ancient paths through glens, mountains and farmland of Highland Perthshire, with fine scenery, heritage and wildlife. The nearest village is never more than 7 miles (11 km) away, and gradients are easy to moderate. The Trail can be completed comfortably within 4-5 days, and there are options to link with the Rob Roy Way, and for a weekend Minitrail.

“My immediate reaction was to want to put on my boots and step out on the Trail.”
