Overview

This is a varied circular walk.  The walk starts through the town of Blairgowrie, then follows the River Ericht.   Along the river we can observe Cargill's Leap, waterfalls and old mills.  The path then ascends up to Knockie Wood where there is a viewpoint that looks over Blairgowrie.  We will then descend towards Blairgowrie and pick up the Ardblair Trail.  This path takes us past Fingask Loch and the White Loch.  We will then enter Darroch Wood which in the right season has many bluebells.
