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.

Website

The Carse of Gowrie Group (CoGG) was formed in the mid-1990s, the main impetus being a perceived need for the area to have a stronger identity within central and local government and within Scotland's tourist industry. Over the years a number of initiatives have been pursued culminating in the formation of the Paths Sub-Group shortly after the approval of Part 1 of the Land Reform (Scotland) Act in 2003.

The CoGG Paths Project website was set up in April 2007 to:-

- record and share the plans, programmes and progress of the Carse of Gowrie Paths Project

- encourage wide participation in the project development

- facilitate exchange of information and

- promote group and individual achievements
