Overview

We start in the centre of Aberfeldfy and enter the gorge known as the Birks of Aberfeldy and past the Falls of Moness. This inspired the famous song by Robert Burns.

There are many steps up through the gorge and the path is uneven in places. 

We then enter some woodland and along part of the Rob Roy Way, eventually heading back into Aberfeldy.
