Walk this circular 1.5-mile trail through wooded slopes overhung by birch trees, with a stop along the viewing platform that looks over deep chasms and Strathtay.

Just beautiful in Autumn. Take the right hand path of the circular walk it’s an easier gentle climb but worth every step for the sheer beauty of the falls

The experience and challenge of getting to the top were worth every bit of effort. The distance from the car park to the loch is very manageable and doable in about an hour. Take a bit of bread to feed the ducks, they will love you for it! The steeper climb from there is definitely more challenging, but it can be managed in bite-sized chunks if needed. We would recommend decent walking boots or shoes and something warm to slip into at the top. With it, you can spend more time up there and wait for any mist or cloud to be blown away. We sat and watched as the wind opened up the skies to reveal a gorgeous landscape.

I stayed for a week in September and would recommend it to anyone whether of Faith or Non Faith for a most wonderful and restful place to be. But just if it is a one or two night stop off then just drive a quarter of a mile past the Soulless Travelodge and enjoy a warm and welcoming stay ; a wonderful lunch and evening meal without having to go out and find places to eat ; lovely garden walks and breakfast before You Go. Newly refurbished and warm rooms all with en-suite facilities and full wheelchair access. I have no personal connection with The Monastery and post this only to pass on the experience that I have had there for others to also benefit from.

This pretty waterfall is just a brisk two-mile hike from the House of Bruar shopping complex.

Beautiful walk along the falls. It was raining but that didn’t dampen our enjoyment or views. There are steep cliff drops however it’s not a requirement to go to the edge to get a full experience. It’s located at the back of the House of Bruar which has a cafe post walk.

Built for the second Duke of Atholl in 1758 and restored in 1953, this folly sits on a rocky outcrop overlooking the turbulent Black Linn Fall, which affords fine views of the distant woodlands.

We started at the bridge of Cally hotel car park and headed on the 8km section to Blairgowrie and down the round trip back to the bridge of Cally hotel.(highly recommend the food here ) This is a great walk through the countryside with great views and lots of wildlife to keep the kids entertained. Some of the trail was a little marshy but most was dry and good for walking on. A couple of small inclines but nothing to challenging. There’s a great tree swing for the kids about 200yards up from the hotel next to an old outhouse. The walk through the forest was lovely especially as it was autumn.

Just off the main street and next to the river this is well worth a visit to enjoy the history that Dunkeld has played in past times. The main central area is undergoing renovation but the Bell Tower and Altar area well worth exploring, There is a small museum area providing some historical information to add to the visit. Free access, with donations gratefully accepted to carry on with the restorations.
