Start/Finish: Moulin Road, Pitlochry NN938582 Total distance: 16.6km (10.3 miles) Time: 1.5-3 hours Maps: Trailmaps Highland Perthshire Map 1: Pitlochry, Killiecrankie and Faskally Route summary: Mixed bag of fi re road and singletrack, mainly sheltered and requiring attention to navigate. Leave Pitlochry on Moulin Road (opposite WHSmith) and climb to Moulin village, turning left behind the Moulin Inn. Follow this to golf course, then right on the climbing doubletrack. At top, take the tiny singletrack left turn along the hedge. It’s a well-surfaced path that climbs steeply. At the end, turn right up the fi re road and climb around three switchback turns to the mast at Craigower. Take the signposted left turn on singletrack, descending into the woods, over the back of the hill to the fi re road where you turned right previously. Turn right here and follow fi re road for two miles. The turning on the left that takes you under the A9 is clearly signed; follow this singletrack as it descends steps, then passes beneath the bridge and switchbacks down to the old A9. Right towards Killiecrankie, keeping an eye out for left turn that doubles back and descends below the road to river’s edge. The return leg is simply a matter of following the river back to Pitlochry: the trail is a mix of fl at, wide footpath and tighter rooty singletrack. At Faskally itself you’ll fi nd yourself in a car park; follow the road around the river bend then bear right to get back to the trails, continuing in a southerly direction until you reach the road at the boathouse near Clunie Bridge.by ocoutts
