Wigwam joins trail scheme

Wigwam Holidays Ballintuim has joined the business support scheme for the Cateran Trail, which runs just a stone’s throw past the lodge’s front door.

Located in the grounds of the property at Balmyle Coach House, Wigwam offers a pick-up and collect service for all five stages of the Cateran route for the duration of a stay at the lodge.

The Supporting the Cateran Trail scheme was launched in 2020 and allows hotels, B&Bs and businesses of all sizes in Perthshire and Angus along the route to broaden their green credentials and contribute towards the improvement and maintenance of the much-loved route.

Wigwam Holidays Ballintuim plans to collect voluntary donations of £1 on every overnight booking from its guests to support Perth and Kinross Countryside Trust’s efforts to increase access along the

Cateran Trail and keep it one of Scotland’s GreatTrails.

Steph and Carolyn Lennox from Wigwam Holidays Ballintuim said:“We are absolutely delighted to be involved in the business support scheme for the CateranTrail.

“As one of Scotland’s Great Trails, we are keen to offer our support and attract donations from our guests to ensure this route can be preserved, maintained and enjoyed for years to come.”

Peter Quinn, PKCT’s trust director, also added:“With continued restrictions affecting the hospitality industry particularly hard due to COVID-19, we are incredibly moved that Wigwam Holidays Ballintuim has decided to help look after the Cateran Trail.

“The lodge lies just off stage one of the trail in Strathardle – a truly stunning part of the route.”
