Errol and Grange - projects

Gas BraeAs a result of the Perth & Kinross Council’s  'Placecheck' held in Errol on 23 June 2007, the first path to be improved was the route down the farm track, past New Farm, then across to join the bottom of Gas Brae at the bridge and back up past Cistern Green to the village.

CoGG also plans to improve the route along the Tay from the sewage works to Port Allen and on to Paddockmuir Wood, to the east of St Madoes. Initial discussions have already been held with one of the landowners concerned who is most supportive of our plans.

North Errol

Our next project is to extend the path network to the north of Errol.

The first phase will involve upgrading the existing path north from Thieves Walk to the small wood, which is often impassable in summer due to the nettles and thistles.  The farm track west to Loan Brae will also be upgraded to make it easier for bicycles and pushchairs.
