This is a varied walk from Comrie into the lower part of the remote-feeling Glen Artney. Passing the delightful village of The Ross, we visit the Earthquake House where the world's first seisometer was sited. Continuing along good estate tracks and paths, with a short section of minor road, we walk through oak and birch woodland on the very edge of the Highlands. Reaching the Water of Ruchill, the track becomes a little rougher as we gently climb into Glen Artney, before turning uphill over a section of moorland and reaching another good track beneath wild hills. We return through the Aberuchill Estate and its castle, again crossing the River Earn to reach Comrie.
Good, well-surfaced paths and tracks in the early and late sections of the walk. Further into the walk some sections may be wet and muddy. A little road walking will require careful attention, particularly crossing the A85 in Comrie. Although this is not a hillwalk, good walking footwear and wind and waterproof clothing will be needed, subject to the weather on the day.
Car share: journey is 74 miles return. Passengers should give the driver £6.
