Rights of way
Last updated | 21/03/2012
Where are the rights of way?
The Council has over 430 miles of rights of way in Perth
& Kinross. These routes link two public places and have been
used regularly by the public for a period of twenty years. The
Council has a duty to keep these routes open and free from
obstructions.
Some of these rights of way are long distance routes. For
example the Gaick Pass (route registration number 10/9) links
Atholl to Speyside, The Minigaig Pass (RRN 10/8) links Blair Atholl
and Calvine to Kingussie.

Where can I get more information?
For those looking for further information there are lots of good
guide books and maps available. One book worth looking at is the Scottish Rights of Way Society
Scottish Hill Tracks book
Diversion Orders
Occasionally there is a case for a right of way to be diverted
around living areas or developments. There is a formal process
involved in diverting a right of way and a Diversion Order
is made and advertised by the Council in such
cases. The public may object to these orders within
the time limit set.
