Description: A 6 mile walk through Atholl Estates.  There are markers en route to keep you on the right route; however, if you want to walk further there's a nice walk to Loch Ordie and back.    There are 3 lochs for dogs to swim in, plenty of forest to run and then some open countryside.  Be aware that sometimes Black Face sheep and cattle are roaming in some areas and there's a high population of deer too, so ticks are prevalent.
Directions: Turn off the A9 where it is signposted for Dunkeld.   Drive all the way through Dunkeld and then take the road on your right marked for Blairgowrie.   On your left you pass a small industrial estate and straight after the Cally car park is marked.  Drive along the track and there's ample parking.   This car park covers both the Atholl walk & the Fungarth walk.

Description: There are 3 walks signposted on Moncrieff Hill all marked by colour coded markers and all various lengths. Bear in mind all paths will go up as well as down - if you don't like hill walking, don't attempt it! The views at the top and from Moredun Top (Old Iron age fort) are lovely, overlooking Fife, up the meandering Tay towards Dundee, over Perth city and surrounding countryside.
Directions: Take junction 9 off the M90 and drive through Bridge of Earn village on the main road. As you drive over the bridge that crosses the River Earn, there's a road on your right hand side with a sign pointing to Moncrieff Hill Woodland Walks. Follow the sign for about a mile and then there's a rough track on your left which takes you to the car parking area.
