Go over the wooden bridge in the corner of the park opposite Sycamore Lodge, walk through the woodland and follow Ruthven Water to Aberuthven. In the village you’ll find the Wee Shop & Deli and a traditional pub, The Smiddy Haugh.
Around Auchterarder from Sycamore Lodge
Take the footpath along the main road to Auchterarder, just after the carwash follow the footpath on the left signposted “Common Loan to Abbey Road”. Either follow the marked pathway all the way to the end town or shorten your route along the way following signposts into the town.
Through Dollar Glen to Castle Campbell Dollar
A fairly strenuous walk, particularly on the ascent, but definately worth it for the scenery.
A fine walk from Perth city centre or, start at Corsie Hill car park. Enjoy a wander through mature woodland up to Kinnoull Tower which was built as a folly. Great views over Perth and the River Tay
Often referred to as the minature mountain, it’s not a long walk but it is steep and fairly stenuous. Make the effort though and you’ll have the most wonderful views over Loch Achray on the way up and Loch Katrine when you get to the top.
At the western end of The Ochils lies Dumyat, at 419m the summit is not particularly high but it still offers wonderful views over Stirlingshire and the River Forth as far as the Queensferry Crossing.
If I can give one recommendation on this walk it’s to climb Ben Lomond first and descend via the Ptarmigan Ridge, where the views infront of you overlooking Loch Lomond are spectacular. The views at Ben Lomond summit are simply stunning.
I did this walk early on a winter’s morning, the scenery and photo opportunities were spectacular. A lovely walk on a well laid track and I’m sure the views would be stunning at any time of the year.
The first Munro I climbed and gave me the bug to do more! One of the easier Munros, apparently, but it does get pretty hard going towards the top when you have to navigate large boulders. The effort is worth it though for the amazing views at the summit.
Britain’s highest mountain at 1345m/4423ft. It’s a long walk as you start at near sea level, but on a fine day it’s easy to navigate with a well defined track all the way to the top.
