Description
Short walks between forests and highland landscapes.
Northern Perthshire combines wooded valleys, rivers and lochs with views towards Scottish mountains. This Cicerone guide selects 15 walks around Pitlochry, Aberfeldy and Dunkeld. It provides a varied introduction to the area, with excursions suitable for inclusion alongside other activities during a holiday in central Scotland.
15 routes with OS maps.
Walks are selected to be completed in under approximately three hours, with clear descriptions and maps. They follow paths, tracks and lanes, often with some gradients. The selection allows for choices between riverbanks, woodland sections and elevated viewpoints depending on fitness, weather and available time.
Waterfalls and historic sites.
Falls of Bruar, Black Spout, Birks of Aberfeldy and The Hermitage showcase different aspects of the area’s waterscapes. Blair Castle, Dunkeld and ancient woodlands provide further themes for the day’s walk. Practical information on parking, connections and facilities facilitates combining walks with village visits or café breaks.
Who is this book suitable for?
The guide is suitable for regular walkers seeking short, clear routes with varied points of interest. Most walks are in established hiking areas, though rain can make paths muddy. Autumn forest colours are particularly fine, while winter brings shorter days and different conditions. Adjust footwear and route choice according to the season and terrain.
A long tradition of guidebooks.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher emerged among climbers and mountaineers wishing to share thorough knowledge of their routes – a tradition that continues to define these compact books for walking, trekking and other outdoor experiences.
