Half-day guided walks near Pitlochry
If you've only got a few hours and you'd like to explore the fantastic countryside around Pitlochry, we can take you out on a half-day walk. We have three super walks to choose from:
A Walk Through Time
This is a lovely half-day walk around Pitlochry, offering some great views and an excellent introduction to the area.
The walk usually starts and finishes at the Pitlochry iCentre. The walk takes in the spectacular Black Spout, a 20m waterfall, the ruined Caisteal Dubh (the “Black Castle”) and the pretty village of Moulin, with its old coaching inn and brewery. Our route then takes you past the Dane's Stone and The Cuilc, and then down to Loch Faskally, the dam and its famous fish ladder. We finish by crossing a bouncy bridge! The walk follows mainly good paths and tracks, but we do cross a field to reach the Caisteal Dubh. The walk is 8.5km, with an ascent of just over 200m, and usually takes about 4 hours.
The walk will be private and is available for a group of up to 8 people through our online booking system. If you have a larger group, please contact us to discuss. The price for 1-2 people is £120, for 3-4 people it is £150 and for 5-8 people it is £180. To see what dates are available and to book this walk please click here:
Craig Fonvuick & the Pass of Killiecrankie
This is a fantastic half-day walk up Craig Fonvuick with excellent views and then through the stunning Pass of Killiecrankie.
The walk starts and finishes at the Garry Bridge car park, which is about two miles from Pitlochry. We walk to Tenandry Kirk and then up a lovely path to Craig Fonvuick (413m) – a super viewpoint. On the way we pass some old ruined homesteads. We then walk down to the famous Soldier's Leap and the Pass of Killiecrankie - a lovely wooded gorge. The walk follows mainly good paths and tracks, and a minor road. The walk is 8km in length, with an ascent of 400m, and usually takes about 4 hours.

Stones of the Ascent
This super half-day walk starts and finishes at the Pitlochry iCentre in the main street of Pitlochry. The route takes in the "bouncy" suspension bridge to Port-na-Craig, part of the Rob Roy Way and Clachan an Diridh - the "stones of the ascent" - an ancient stone circle. The route then takes you out on to the moor, where the views down to Pitlochry and across to nearby hills and mountains are, on a good day, excellent. A good track takes you down to Fonab and then back to Port-na-Craig. From here, we can visit Pitlochry Dam and its famous fish ladder. There is a very good cafe overlooking the dam which is a good place to reward yourselves with a cup of coffee and a piece of lovely cake!
The walk is 12km in length, with 350m of ascent, and is classed as strenuous due to its length. It takes about 4 hours + stops.
The walk will be private and is available for a group of up to 8 people through our online booking system. If you have a larger group, please contact us to discuss. The price for 1-2 people is £120, for 3-4 people it is £150 and for 5-8 people it is £180. To see what dates are available and to book this walk please click here:
