About us
Helping more people to enjoy, explore and learn about Scotland’s brilliant nature, landscapes and history, particularly here in Highland Perthshire, is very important to us. We’ve been doing this throughout our careers – from writing the Scottish Outdoor Access Code to developing local path networks – and in our retirement.
Richard Davison and Brenda Clough set up Perthshire Treks in 2018 to deliver safe and inspiring guided walking adventures in Highland Perthshire and elsewhere in the Scottish Highlands. In 2024, we decided to scale back the business and Brenda has now retired from leading walks.
Richard is available for occasional guided walking adventures but his focus is now on adding more walks and other information to this website, which has been called Walk Perthshire. The aim remains to encourage more people to get outdoors and explore!
Richard Davison
Richard started hillwalking over 40 years ago and he’s been enjoying Scotland’s fantastic outdoors ever since. He completed the Munro’s in 1997 and the Corbett’s in 2024, and in recent years he’s done quite a bit of ski touring. Richard has led walks with HF Holidays, C-n-Do Scotland and Easyways since gaining his Summer Mountain Leader award in 2016. Richard is a member of the Mountain Training Association and has an up-to-date emergency outdoor first aid certificate. Before walk guiding, Richard worked with Scottish Natural Heritage for 28 years. During this time, he drafted the national Access Forum’s proposals for Scotland’s world-class access rights and wrote the Scottish Outdoor Access Code. Richard is also an Ambassador for the Mountain Weather Information Service (MWIS).
