Fine artists have been drawn 2 paint the people, places & landscapes of these parts for generations, one well known 19thc group, 'The Blairgowrie Boys', included David Farquharson(1840-1907). This is his 'View of Strathmore with Harvesters’ #Cateran100 #Cateranpeople

@PerthshireOS Hi POS. Looking forward to this years trail! Can you advise, when is the deadline for artists applications (and what is the current thinking viz #Covid_19 implications)?

@CateranEco Water levels well down now but a repeat performance is likely tomorrow if the deluge resumes. Meigle to Alyth road closed at this time.

Alyth Burn in the centre of the town about half an hour ago. It’s starting to come over the top - sand bags and earth banks have been put up along and beside the burn and shop keepers are sandbagging and deploying their flood doors too - keep safe everyone! #stormdennis

Now that the days are getting lighter, why not come & discover some of the geology of the Highland Boundary Fault thru' our 3 Alyth based geotours: cateranecomuseum.co.uk/itinerary/alyt… You don’t even need a car if you live in Perth or Dundee as the 57 bus will bring you to us!

@CountrysideBen Judging by most litter, the perpetrators exist on a diet of crisps, sweets and fizzy drinks. I hope this diet renders them infertile before the have the chance to breed the next generation of litter-louts.

The only downside of the day was the time spent walking alongside main roads. Not cos they're roads but cos of the amount of crap chucked onto verges. It's not a problem unique to Fife by any means. Embarrassing, knowing how folk come from around the world to walk our trails.
