The fields are grazed and cultivated but the woodlands are much as they were at the end of the last ice age with spectacular walks along Cleghorn Glen with the chance to see badgers, bats, deer and all manner of birds among the towering pine and beech trees. The Mouse Water (pronounced moose) tumbles down along the edge of the farm and has some glorious pools for swimming, shallows for paddling and some spectacular water falls before it joins the River Clyde.

Where to go

Pitlochry Path Network

Circling Pitlochry and its neighbouring villages, the Pitlochry Path network offers days of diverse walking trails that begin and end right in the heart of town. For a relaxed stroll, follow the Pitlochry & the Moulin walk along the hills and forest above town, passing the small ruins of Caisteal Dubh, the Black Castle. A more adventurous walk is the 18-kilometre Bealach Loop, with the option to divert to the lonely summit of Ben Vrackie, then follow the River Garry back into town. 

Rob Roy Way

The Rob Roy Way is a 127-km, long-distance walk stretching from Drymen next to Loch Lomond through the Trossachs, along the south shores of stunning Loch Tay and ending in Pitlochry. It traces an easy-to-moderate route through the homeland of Rob Roy Macgregor, the infamous Scottish outlaw. Along the way, walkers pass through traditional Scottish villages from Callander to Killin to Aberfeldy. Campgrounds can be found throughout the route, and transport companies can even carry your rucksack from point A to point B each day.

Loch Tay

From the woodland walk along the Falls of Acharn to the Crannog Centre recreating an Iron Age settlement to the bookend villages of Killin and Kenmore, connected by a scenic byway and national cycle route, Loch Tay is a favoured destination for locals and tourists alike. The loch itself is the largest in area, hemmed in by the peaks of Ben Lawers and the more inaccessible stretches of Highland Perthshire to the north. 

When to go

Summer in Perthshire is hard to beat, but it can also be hard to escape the crowds. Timing your visit in late September or early October will mean fewer crowds and the benefit of autumn foliage. Throughout October, the town transforms for the Enchanted Forest, a spectacular display of lights that draws visitors from far and wide. 

Know before you go

  • Many campground and caravan sites close down from late October through March so be sure to book and plan in advance if you’re visiting out of season. 
  • Leaflets can be found in the Pitlochry visitor centre with maps and details of all area walks
  • In the high season, tour buses coast through Pitlochry daily on their way further north and stop to let visitors explore the High Street.
