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.

Satellite Groups

There are nine satellite groups that cover the Carse from east to west.  You can see the activities, planned projects and routes each individual group is developing by following the menu links.  If you think the area you are interested in may fall between two or more groups, check the details for them all.  The groups are acting together and part of their role is to identify routes that link the different areas of the Carse and eventually to provide networks that provide a continuum of routes from east to west.  Below is a map showing the approximate position of the nine groups in the Carse and a list of the areas they cover.  Click on the area number to visit the specific satellite pages, or use the links in the table.

Each satellite area will eventually develop a series of routes with associated maps that will be obtainable from this website and provide you with guidance on where you can find interesting sites to visit and challenging walks.  Check to see what routes we have already identified.  The 'Maps' menu item provides a list of links to the maps we have already identified.

Please remember that many of our pages are not yet prepared so keep checking the site to see updates.
