The Cateran Trail is a superb circular long distance route that straddles the area along the border between Perthshire and Angus. It takes its name from the marauding bands of cattle thieves known as Caterans which brought terror to these glens in times past.

Silver winter light in the northern corries of the Cairngorms yesterday. And look at that fabulous expanse of pine forest lapping the feet of the big hills. Pulls my heart northwards…

When Helen’s farm was put at risk due to high deer density, she wanted to find a solution that could benefit local communities 🦌

Through #Cairngorms2030, this pioneering project creates a local supply of venison for those who need it most 🌱
