Errol Station Link

Construction of the path from Errol village to Errol Station is now complete and the path is being well used.  A small problem appears to be damage to the verges from rabbits or horses.  Path users are asked to help with maintenance by tramping in holes.  A formal opening ceremony will follow later  this summer.  The project is being funded by the Scottish Government & the European Community Rural Tayside LEADER 2007-2013 Programme, Perth & Kinross Countryside Trust, Perth & Kinross Quality of Life Trust and COGG.

Perth - Willowgate Right of Way

Work is underway to improve a very old right of way that includes a riverside path link from Perth City to the cafe and fishery at Willowgate, situated on the banks of the Tay beside Walnut Grove and the Friarton Bridge on the East Edge of Perth. Willowgate was formerly a working salmon station operated by, and still controlled by Tay Salmon Fisheries.

Carse of Gowrie Group - Paths Project

The Carse of Gowrie looking from Kinnoull Hill

The Carse of Gowrie in east central Scotland is a fertile strip of land in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, stretching for about 24km along the north shore of the Firth of Tay between Perth and Dundee and bordered by the Sidlaw hills to the north. It is a beautiful part of Scotland to live in and visit.

The Carse of Gowrie Group (CoGG) established the Paths Project to develop a comprehensive network of paths for walking and other forms of non-mechanised transport. If this is your interest, then you have found the best site for a free source of information, resources and maps of the paths we are developing and promoting.

CoGG and the Paths Project is run by groups of volunteers representing the various communities within the Carse. More information on the background to the Paths Project can be found here and details of the volunteer groups here.
