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.
