Best walk from Blair Atholl

Blair Atholl Station to Pitlochry Station

attractive scenery. A largely flat, mostly riverside route along the Garry and Tummel through the Pass of Killiecrankie, on forest and riverside paths that are part-paved and with just under half on quiet tarmac roads or pavement. Plenty of shade. Some flights of steps. Mostly follows the River Garry and Tummel. The NTS Killiecrankie visitor centre, just off route, makes a worthwhile half-way break. Both ends are on the same bus and train line.

Tough: steep ascents. 13km.

One quiet quarry road has no pavement and may carry quarry lorries on weekdays. An alternative path through woods avoids walking the main road around a blind bend at Killiecrankie.

Lunch: Potential refreshment stop just off route at the NTS Killiecrankie visitor centre, roughly half way.
