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.

Be sensible about not over-reaching yourself on a mountain hike, Do not push yourself or your party beyond your limits and cut your walk short if you're tiring or the weather is worsening and you are not confident with your skills or equipment.
Leave a route card or other indication of your likely location with a responsible person and notify that person immediately of your safe return. If a real emergency occurs, the international distress signal is a group of six loud blasts of a whistle, to be repeated at one-minute intervals.

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.

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.
Would highly recommend! Amazing views, fantastic and accommodating hosts, adorable lodging, and lots of animals! Will be trying to come back soon

We stayed in the two person pod. It was warm cosy and nicely furnished. We faced out onto amazing views with the donkeys and llamaa right up close. .The bothy/kitchen had everything you would need if yiu were cooking and the bathroom/toilets were large and spotless. The hot tub which we lay in under a blanket of stars was amazing. Helena and Nathan the owners were so friendly and helpful and all and all this was an excellent glamping experience
