Paths

 

What's happening?

The Community Council is working hard to make sure the Michael Bruce Way (MBW) is kept up to scratch by working with the Perth & Kinross Council and local Landowners. I'm sure many of you noticed that parts of the path became very overgrown this year. The reason is that for parts of the path there is no funding for things like,grasscutting and minor repairs - thats why the Community Council is putting in place a sponsorship scheme to enable us to keep the path up to scratch.

 

The long awaited path alongside the A911 between Kinnesswood and Scotlandwell has got the go-ahead and a start should be made later this year.

 

New Information Boards for the MBW

Are in the making and the first drafts are available for review here

 

MBW Sponsorship scheme

We want people in the community to sponsor the two kilometers of path that are of concern - if we could find sponsors at just 25p per metre we can keep the path clear for all!

 

There are three possibilities of doing this:-

 

If you would like to be a sponsor, just leave a message on this website or phone Stuart   (840825)

or Jim ( 841029). 

 

General paths info

Portmoak parish provides easy access to many local paths from gentle strolls to full days out on the hills.


There is direct access to the "Loch Leven Heritage Trail" and the "Michael Bruce Way" from a number of places in the parish and a new "Round the Loch" bus service (service 203) provides easy access to Portmoak and the local paths from many stops around Loch Leven.


Perth and Kinross Council maintain an informative "countryside" section on their website promoting some of the local paths in the area as well as host news and updates on them - details can be found at www.pkc.gov.uk/countryside
