Discover the Cateran Trail and Glenshee's 9 Munros
Around Glenshee Glamping the usual rules about shutting gates apply, as well as keeping away from barns and out buildings. The same common sense rules apply to your dogs. We have wonderfully liberal rights of access here in Scotland Scottish Outdoor Access Code SNH so let’s respect them and keep dogs either on a lead or very close control when livestock are about and especially at lambing time in March and April.
The estate surrounding Glenshee Glamping belongs to a sporting estate and pheasant shooting takes place from Oct 1st to the end of January. It is a big estate and there are lots of drives so shooting could take place over a wide area.
If you come across a keeper whistling his birds on the hill, this means he is moving them/feeding them. Wait until he is finished and gives you the nod before moving on.
We publish shooting times in the Bothy when the estate provides them.
Take in the magnificent scenery of the Glenshee mountains with many low level walks. Good estate tracks run close to the rivers in Glen Lochsie and Glen Taitneach ( OS Landranger map 43). The lower level walks are ideal for a leisure walk with friends or family with beautiful wildlife you can spot along the way.
For a more challenging Full day activity, there are 21 Munros within a 14 mile radius of the Cairnwell Pass. Munro Bagging has become the most popular activity and outdoor persuit in Scotland. Famously named after British Mountaineer Sir Hugh Munro who listed all 282 Mountains in Scotland that were over 3,000 feet. Today walking enthusiasts scrample up steep scree, face narrow ridges and challenging saddles to reach the summit of Scotlands best known peaks, better known as Munro Bagging.
Glenshee and wider Perthshire is home to several Munros within Scotland and makes it one of the most popular areas to start ticking those peaks off your list.

Friendly owners, beautiful location and we loved the animals! Great showers / toilets and having use of the very well equipped Bothy for cooking and hanging out in when it's raining makes camping here a great experience. Will definitely be back.

My husband and I have been going to Glenshee since 2017 whilst it was under previous ownership. We have been fortunate enough to have seen the changes and improvements implemented by Nathan and Helena over the last few years and they are as much a reason to book as the facilities provided. They are two of the loveliest people who have put so much time and effort in to giving the space a new lease of life & it has paid off. The showering facilities have been greatly improved & the additions of a play area & additional family activities has been a much welcomed one. There is so much to utilise in terms of activities and extra space to use, the Bothy is super cosy and welcoming with the rustic vibe that you would expect & appreciate in a glamping experience. We have stayed in the Tummelberry Hut, Blackberry Hut and the cosy glamping pods and have utilised additional services including bedding packs & the hot tub. Both huts are spacious, comfortable and presented beautifully, with lovely amenities that make it feel like a home away from home, but that’s how it has always felt at Glenshee Glamping. More recently we have enjoyed the cosy glamping pods & have found this suitable for our needs, the pods are big enough to move freely and comfortably & cosy enough to relax and feel rejuvenated. The hot tubs are a great addition to the site and are super easy to keep heated, we were well informed on how to use ours & were both able to lie comfortably and relax. Glenshee is somewhere we found and booked randomly 8 years ago and now it has provided us the opportunity for escapism, relaxation and reconnection. It is the perfect getaway for anyone and I will never stop recommending it. Rooms: 5/5Service: 5/5Location: 5/5 Hotel highlights Great view, Romantic, Quiet, Child-friendly, Great value
