Walking in Perthshire

There are a number of very good walks in the area - in this section we'll give you a few ideas. Walk from the doorstep by taking the much-enjoyed local walk to the village via the south drive and back via the road and the north drive - this is a brisk 35 minutes'walk. In both Chapel House and Tower House you will find a list of local walks, booklets with Perthshire walks, and we have a selection of Ordinance Survey maps that may be borrowed for walks further afield.

The Forestry Commission can offer many walks throughout Scotland. Check their site for information about the country's forests and walks and what the Forestry Commission is doing to protect and expand them.

The Munros and Tops are for the serious walkers and 'Munro baggers' though some are perfectly achievable by the less expert. See the list of Munros along with grid references for each.

How about a walk across the Forth Road Bridge? Make sure you have a head for heights! The 2.5km walk will give you great views inland toward the Ochil Hills and the distant Trossachs. To the East admire the world-famous Forth Rail Bridge.
