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.
