Description
This route heads along the Tay river estuary, but avoiding the inaccessible parts of it. It would only be suitable for walkers, due to the rough ground, and some steps.
From Perth it follows the riverside path to Willowgate (cafe), but then takes its road access route over the railway by a bridge. It follows a grassy path eastwards to Walnut Grove, then the footway beside the A90 dual carriageway all the way to St Madoes where there is a shop, cafe and bus stops, just off route.
A quiet road leads back to the river estuary at Cairnie Pier, and from here the route is partly waymarked, with footbridges over the burns, following the shoreline for about 10km. If shops are required a diversion into Errol would be required, which entails more road walking along the minor road north east of Errol.
At Seasyde the route diverts inland in order to cross the Bogmill Pow, then takes to the coast again as far as Templehall. From here the route uses minor roads through Kingoodie and Invergowrie, crosses the A85 via an underpass, and enters Dundee along the Perth Road, descending to Greenmarket via the Seabraes (park, with steps)

Surveys
We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.
Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.
