Route and access notes

A fully waymarked circular long-distance trail through Perthshire and the Angus glens, following old drove roads, farm tracks, forests and open moorland.

Planning this route

Perth and Kinross Countryside Trust publishes the Cateran Trail as a 64-mile / 103 km circuit divided into five stages. The connected source relation measures 106.0 km and represents the complete named circuit; Loamcast publishes whole-route conditions without inventing alternative stages.

Access and source limitations

The official route crosses farmland, forests, rough moorland, estate tracks and minor roads. The source contains no walking prohibition; gates, livestock, boggy ground, burns and temporary land-manager instructions require attention.
