A great shop in Dunkeld, at the heart of the cycling in Perthshire. Bikes for hire, sales, servicing and repairs, guiding and coaching, uplifts, clothing and locally sourced coffee. Whether you want a short cycle along the river with the family, a trip into the hills with a packed lunch or guiding on the technical hidden single track, we have the lot!

We hired two e bikes and used Adam's recommended route from Dunkeld to Pitlochry. Great day out and although we had our own bikes with us, hiring e bikes allowed the more senior member of the party (+55!) and the young lady who was recovering from a slipped disc(!)....to keep up with the 20something semi professional rugby player and experienced cyclists......making it great fun for all!

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.

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.

Going Pottie is also the home of MacGnome - the original Scottish gnome, designed, made and painted by ourselves.

Our grand kids visited the shop and painted some pottery. The choice was terrific and the lady owner had limitless patience. Well worth the visit.

Out for a walk with my Grand Daughter and camera . The trail through woodland and moor is 3 kilometres with a steady gradient to begin with the majority of the path is on fairly level ground with 32 poems and sculptures spread around the walk . There are some really good landscape views as well .It is well laid out and thought provoking in a good way . there is plenty of wildlife to see on the way round .Ideal for a jaunt with children or a dog but you must keep the dog on a lead . Not wheelchair friendly .
