Description provided by the publisher:
The Cateran Trail is one of Scotland's Great Trails – a circular walk 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 third edition has been fully revised in June 2024 with details of six route changes, updated mapping and many new photos. It is lighter and more pocketable than before, with perfect binding (glued and sewn). This guidebook contains all you need to plan and enjoy the Cateran Trail: • detailed description of each route section, updated in 2024 • Foreword by explorer and adventurer Polly Murray • concise directions for variants, including a two-day Minitrail • side-trips including Mount Blair (744 m/2440 ft) • information on transport and accommodation • background on caterans, farming and wildlife • lavishly illustrated with 96 color photographs • 8 pages of Footprint mapping of the Cateran Trail (scale 1:50,000) • rucksack-friendly and on rainproof paper.
