Step into the heart of ‘Rob Roy Country’ and experience the spectacular scenery of Perthshire on foot. Follow routes through lush glens, rugged moorland and up high mountains.
Walking is one of the best ways to lose yourself amongst the breathtaking natural beauty of Perthshire.
Explore over 250 miles of waymarked routes through this beautiful region, from gentle riverside strolls to exhilarating treks into rugged mountain terrain. As you take in the stunning scenery you’ll also pass by a variety of interesting sights including Roman remains, medieval castles and whisky distilleries.
Experience some of the most stunning parts of Highland Perthshire by following the Cateran Trail, a long-distance route named after the marauding bands of cattle thieves that roamed these hills in the 17th century.
Begin your journey in the bustling market town of Blairgowrie, continuing through the tranquil glen of Strathcardle and moorland of Enochdhu towards the Spittal of Glenshee, which rewards walkers with spectacular views of the mountainous countryside below. Here you’ll begin your descent into the pastoral farmlands of Glen Isla, passing Castle Forter and glistening lochs along the way, before reaching picturesque Alyth.
Follow in the footsteps of legendary outlaw Rob Roy MacGregor on the Rob Roy Way, another long distance route, and see where the 18th century cattle rustler lived, worked and fought for the Jacobite cause.
This 79 mile walk meanders through the lovely glens of Highland Perthshire, past the shimmering waters of Loch Earn and Loch Tay, before ending in the pretty Victorian spa town of Pitlochry, nestled at the foot of Ben Vrackie.
Follow the popular walk through the Black Spout Wood, and oak wood located on the eastern outskirts of the town, and find a cascading waterfall, a ruined castle, and Scotland’s smallest distillery at Edradour.
There are plenty of other lovely walks to enjoy around Dunkeld, Blairgowrie, Crieff and Comrie, while the high mountains surrounding the remote Rannoch Moor and the routes leading up the grassy Ben Lawers range are also worth exploring.
Wherever you go walking in Perthshire, it’s impossible not to be swept away by its majestic landscape and sense of peace and tranquility.
