Cateran Trail
NPL Group Community Fund Awards
Awarded in Sept 2018 through the Scottish Landfill Communities Fund
One of Scotland’s Great Trails, the Cateran Trail is a fully waymarked, 64-mile / 103 km route through Perthshire and the Angus glens in the heart of Scotland.
The Trail is a circular route divided into five stages and can be comfortably walked in five days. The Trail has no official beginning or end and can be joined at any stage.
It follows old drove roads and ancient tracks across a varied terrain of farmland, forests and moors. Some of these routes follow the same ones used by the Caterans – fearsome cattle thieves who raided Strathardle, Glenshee and Glen Isla from the Middle Ages to the 17th century and for whom the Trail is named.
The project was enabled through an award of £35,085 by Avondale Environmental Limited, part of the NPL Group through the Scottish Landfill Communities Fund.
