The Cateran Yomp is the biggest, toughest charity event of its kind. This year, more than one thousand Yompers will gather on the edge of Blairgowrie in the heart of Scotland to traverse through the foothills of the Cairngorm mountains, walking continuously for 54, 36 or 22 miles over 24 hours and raising hundreds of thousands of pounds for the Army Benevolent Fund.

Members Spotlight: The Cateran Ecomuseum
The Cateran Ecomuseum is set across 1,000 square kilometres of the beautiful landscapes of eastern Perthshire and western Angus. The concept of ecomuseums is relatively new to Scotland – the Cateran Ecomuseum is only the country’s second such venture – and encompasses the idea of a museum linked to a territory rather than a traditional building or place, with community at its heart – a museum without walls.
