For
keen walkers, the market town of Blairgowrie is a starting
point for the famous Cateran
Trail. Caterans were rough cattle
thieves who rustled cattle in the Strathmore area retreating
to their remote bothies in the high Cairngorm mountains.
The area was once densely populated in the late Bronze
and early Iron ages where remains of farms and kilns can
still be seen. The Trail is 63 miles long and takes a
circuitous route from Blairgowrie through the highland
glens of Strathardle, Glenshee and Glen Isla. It uses
existing paths and minor roads and can be easily covered
in 4 - 5 days. |

you are keen on adventure sports you can opt for a day canyoning,
white-water rafting, micro-lighting, rap-running, off-road
driving, gliding, pony trekking or mountain biking. There
is an adventure
activities centre in Dunkeld, just fifteen
minutes drive from Drumellie Meadow which caters for groups
wishing to participate. |
