Cycle Perth

The next county north from Kinross is Perthshire, the "gateway to the Highlands." The city of Perth as a lot to offer cyclists, the work of the Perth & Kinross Cycle Campaign, known as By-cycle which has worked closely with the Perth & Kinross Council (P&K C) to improve the lot of cyclists in the city... within the limitations of their budget.

The main thrust within the P&K C is in Perth, two commuter routes are in the process of being established; one from North Muirton and the other from Scone (awaiting the result of a public hearing.) It is expected that these routes should be in operation in 2002 / 2003. Other routes are being planned as well as a re-vamp of the unpopular Glasgow Road cycle lanes, which is also being extended to almost the citys' western boundary.

Sustrans and the National Cycle Network have two routes in Perthshire; The Carlisle to Inverness Route NCN 7 and and the Logierait to Dundee Route NCN 77. The Logierait to Dundee route has not been completed, parts of the route are in place from Logierait to Dunkeld and from Perth to Dundee, the missing portion is expected to be completed sometime in the future.

The old Tayside Regional Council, established, but did not really promote a route for cyclists heading from Perth to Inverness, avoiding the A9, it is expected that this route and the path along the newly completed Tay Flood Prevention Scheme will provide the basis for the missing link.
