Walking Perth country

Walker
↔17.68 km ↗+270 m ↘-269 m ◔5h 50 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Perthshire and Kinross

The walk, 90% of which is on quiet country roads, on a good day offers truly brilliant country views. Many splendid views across extensive farmlands and on the latter half across the Tay Valley, the Tay Road bridge and towards the Earn river Valley.

Walking Steele’s Knowe from Corb Glen

Association or club
↔13.01 km ↗+442 m ↘-435 m ◔5h 00 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Perthshire and Kinross

A hilly walk around the quieter eastern Ochils, walking past Green Knowes wind farm.

Walking Loch of the Lowes Path

Walker
↔7.47 km ↗+143 m ↘-141 m ◔2h 35 ▲Easy
⚑Departure from Perthshire and Kinross

A lovely walk through coniferous and deciduous woodland and open pasture, on the way to Loch of the Lowes. Use the hides at the Scottish Wildlife Trust’s visitor centre to sneak a peek in season at overwintering geese, ducks including goldeneye and the striking, head shaking courtship of the great crested grebe. A camera provides live and recorded images of the famous osprey nest in season and other local wildlife.

Walking Lomond Hills Circuit

Association or club
↔20.64 km ↗+689 m ↘-688 m ◔7h 50 ▲Difficult
⚑Departure from Fife

The route starts from the Holl Reservoir car park and goes in an anti-clockwise direction. Walking anti-clockwise has the advantage of going down rather than up the steep south side of West Lomond, although what was just feint path amongst the heather is becoming well trodden nowadays.

Walking Glen Sherup Horseshoe, The Ochils

Professional from the tourism industry
Glen Sherup Horseshoe, The Ochils
↔15.86 km ↗+593 m ↘-596 m ◔6h 15 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Perthshire and Kinross

Taking in the rolling summits of Innerdownie, Whitewisp Hill, Tarmangie Hill and – optionally – Ben Shee, this circular walk on the southern edge of Perth & Kinross is best experienced on a clear day when the views can be appreciated to their fullest.

Walking Dumglow Via Dumifarline And The Inneans

Association or club
↔6.90 km ↗+203 m ↘-203 m ◔2h 35 ▲Easy
⚑Departure from Perthshire and Kinross

Dumglow is an unavoidable point in the area of The Cleish Hill. The Cleish Hills straddle the boundary between Perth & Kinross and Fife. Made up of tussocky grass moorland they have a real hill feel to them despite not being particularly high. The highest point Dumglow lies within Perth and Kinross, but at 339m the nearby Park Hill is the seventh highest hill within Fife. Although Park Hill could be approached from the Fife side, it is probably best included with an ascent of Dumglow.
