A new exhibition celebrating the people, places and landscape of the Cateran Trail is running at Alyth Musum.
It’s the culmination of a year-long project which crowd sourced ideas for objects that tell the story of the route’s history.
Suggestions were collected online, and in April, an advisory panel chaired by councillor Bob Ellis selected the final 100 objects.
The exhibition – A Story of the Cateran Trail in 100 Objects – runs at Alyth Museum until the end of September in partnership with Cateran’s Common Wealth initiative.
Bob, who was one of the trail’s founders, said: “The Cateran Trail was initially discussed between myself and Alan Dick in the summer of 1997.
“I’m delighted, that 20 years since that first conversation, we’re celebrating the incredibly rich history, heritage and contemporary culture of the Trail through this exhibition.”
Clare Cooper, one of the project’s producers added: “Eastern Perthshire and the Cateran Trail are two of Scotland’s hidden gems.
“As well as being extraordinarily rich in history, archaeology and cultural and natural heritage, this area has a thriving and diverse community of living artists and makers and we are especially grateful to five of them for generously sharing their creativity and imagination through this exhibition.”
The exhibition runs until the end of September this year when Alyth Museum closes for the season, but it will re-open next season (2018) with a refreshed group of objects.
Alyth Museum is open 1pm to 5pm Wednesday to Sunday
