Cateran Trail: a Circular Walk in the Heart of Scotland
Jacquetta Megarry
The Cateran Trail is one of Scotland’s Great Trails – a circuit of 64 miles (104 km) starting in Blairgowrie, near Perth, following in the footsteps of cattle-rustlers (caterans). This waymarked Trail follows ancient paths through glens, mountains and farmland of Highland Perthshire, with fine scenery, heritage and wildlife. The nearest village is never more than 7 miles (11 km) away, and gradients are easy to moderate. The Trail can be completed comfortably within 4-5 days, and several route variants are described, including the option for a weekend Minitrail.
Our updated third edition includes 35 fine images from professional photographer Mike Bell. Its detailed mapping is at 1:50,000 and has been updated for 2024, as have all route descriptions and other information.
