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.

Promotion

The activities of the Paths Project will be promoted in a variety of ways reflecting the different expectations of members of the communities throughout the Carse. We hope the website will prove an increasingly attractive and important vehicle of communication. A standard newsletter is also planned. Dedicated flyers and promotional leaflets have been circulated by the project team from time to time and will continue to be used as appropriate.

When new routes are developed and following agreement with all involved parties, press releases and other media outlets will be utilised. The photograph below was taken during an opening event by one of our sister groups in Alyth.
