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.

Abernyte - meet the local group

To contact your local group by email, visit the Contact us page

Abernyte nestles quietly in the Braes of the Carse overlooking the Tay. The village has its own web site (www.abernyte.org) which is well worth a visit. It has interesting and diverse information about Abernyte district, its history and community activities.
 
The current village was called originally Balfour with the original Abernyte village located some 400 yards to the south.
 
The current school building celebrated its centenary in 2006 and beside it stands the old school house which dates from the mid 18th century and was the school and school master’s house.
 
The old church has its origins in medieval times although the current building dates from the 18th century. There are interesting gravestones dating from the mid 18th century.
 
Currently a number of projects for walks around the area are under consideration.
