WALKING
 

Perthshire offers some of the most beautiful and varied walking & trekking available in central Scotland. Whether it is a gentle stroll or a strenuous hike, the options are available to everybody. We have Munros (over 3000 ft), River bank treks and everything in between. The Cateran Trail (The Caterans were reivers, cattle thieves who flourished in the more lawless regions of the Highlands from the Middle Ages until the 17th century) takes its course along the glens surrounding the hotel. In all it covers 64 miles/103km and is, unusually, a circular trail bringing you back to where you started. Many a walker will stop at The Bridge of Cally Hotel as part of a well earned break whilst travelling a section of the trail, or use it as an over night stop.

Blairgowrie, our local market town, is hosting its third Walking Festival this autumn. It runs from the 3rd to 9th October 2008 and has proved very popular with locals and tourists from further a field. www.walkingfestival.org
