Overview

A lovely linear walk from Aberfeldy to Pitlochry. The walk starts in the centre of Aberfeldy and joins a path alongside the Tay. It then picks up the disused railway bed to Grandtully and this is a good place for lunch. The group will then split before tackling the rise past Strathtay Golf Course and into Fonab and into the Tay Forest Woods, before a long drop to Pitlochry and great views over the Garry Glen.
