We have everything from sheltered forest walks and riverside strolls to more demanding high-level walking on the Grampian plateau.

The Strathmore area on the southern edge of Catera

The Strathmore area on the southern edge of Cateran Country and east Perthshire is home to rolling farmland and the historic villages of Coupar Angus and Meigle, as well as many other hamlets in between.

Meigle lies on the south-east edge of Perthshire and is believed by many to have once been an important Pictish centre – the Sculptured Stone Museum, based in the former village schoolhouse, has an impressive collection of Pictish carved stones dating from the late 8th century to the late 10th century on display.

Meanwhile, Coupar Angus was once an important place of trade through its Abbey – one of the richest in Scotland at one point – though little of this monastic settlement remains today.

Picturesque Alyth in Cateran Country is a historic

Picturesque Alyth in Cateran Country is a historic trading-town dating from at least the 12th century and located on the edge of the Cairngorms where Highland farmers would bring their sheep and cattle to Lowland markets.

The pretty square in the town centre and the area along the side of the burn that runs through the heart of the town have recently benefitted from an extensive refurbishment, with new information boards highlighting the history of the town – including that of the 16th century packhorse bridge and the Arches.

Ever wondered why we’re known as ‘Cateran Country’

Ever wondered why we’re known as ‘Cateran Country’ and who the caterans were?

The name derives from the Gaelic word ceatharn meaning ‘warrior’ and came to be associated with cattle raiding, particularly in places like Glenshee, Glenisla and Strathardle.

Today though, cateran country is best known for the Cateran Trail - a 64-mile / 103 km route through Perthshire and the Angus glens and one of Scotland’s Great Trails. It is also Scotland’s only long-distance circular route.

Are you planning a visit to walk some – or even all – of it this year?

Nestled on the banks of the River Ericht in the heart of Scotland, the historic Perthshire town of Blairgowrie and Rattray sits on either side of the River Ericht as it emerges from spectacular red sandstone gorges into the Vale of Strathmore.

‘Blair’, as it is known locally, boasts a fantastic mix of independent shops as well as cafes and restaurants. Just half an hour from both Perth and Dundee and a couple of hours away by car from Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Inverness, it is the perfect location for holidays, short breaks and days out.
