Overview

A circular walk on good forest tracks, paths, farm lanes and some pavement walking.  Please bring packed lunch.  There is a steady climb for the first few killometres. From Abernethy Tower we walk towards the old quarry, onwards past Tarduff Hill, head into Pitmedden Forest and follow the trail to the top of Pitcairlie Hill with a fine view over theTay.  The return to Abernethy is via fields of Gattaway Farm.

Please note there is a possibility of livestock in the fields.
