As the CoGG Committee is unable to appoint a full complement of Office Bearers, an Extraordianry General Meeting will be held on 31 August at 7.30pm at the Inchture Hotel to wind up the group, unless volunteers come forward beforehand.  Further information from Phyllis Mackay (Outgoing Chairwoman) on 07721 002920

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.

Gas BraeAs a result of Perth & Kinross Council’s  'Placecheck'  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.


Gas Brae towards Tay Lodge

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

The path from Thieves Walk to Loan Brae (also known locally as the cow road), has now been upgraded so that it can be used in all weathers and be more easily maintained.  Funding was provided by Perth & Kinross Quality of Life Trust and Perth & Kinross Countryside Trust (PKCT)
