Overview

This is an out and back walk, with a detour up Auchterhouse Hill. We will explore woodland and open hillside. Weather permitting there are lovely views south towards the Tay and Fife and north towards the Vale of Strathmore and the Angus Glens. The walk will proceed west along footpaths and land-rover tracks to Kinpurnie Tower and return back east taking in Auchterhouse Hill. 
Walk is mainly undulating but has some steepish ascents and descents in places. Two stiles to cross.
