Walking Trails

Schiehallion, the 'Fairy Hill of the Caledonians', is one of Scotland's most iconic mountains. The ascent from Braes of Foss follows a well-marked path through moorland before climbing the quartzite ridge to the summit at 1,083 metres. On a clear day, the views are extraordinary, stretching across the Highlands.

The shores of Loch Tay offer some of the most beautiful walking in Perthshire. Multiple routes explore the lochside, from gentle strolls along the shore to longer routes through woodland and farmland. The views across the loch to Ben Lawers are spectacular in all seasons.

This varied walk combines a visit to the historic Castle Menzies with an ascent of Weem Rock, offering excellent views over Aberfeldy and the Tay valley. The route passes through mixed woodland and open hillside, with the option to extend towards the Cave of the Hermit.

Ben Lawers is the highest mountain in Perthshire at 1,214 metres and forms part of a National Nature Reserve renowned for its Arctic-alpine flora. The ascent from the visitor centre offers excellent walking with outstanding views, and the reserve is home to rare plants found nowhere else in Britain.
