Help connect Blairgowrie
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Blairgowrie’s Slow Ways.

The anticipated difficulty of using the main road near Couttie Bridge did not materialise. However on the north side of the bridge the pavement reduced to nothing, and it was necessary to keep to the very edge of the road. A blind bend was visible ahead, with no verges into which to retreat, but luckily there was no ditch, hedge or fence so I was able to cross into the adjacent field and walk along the field edge parallel to the main road. For anyone heading southwards, towards Coupar Angus, it would probably be safer to take to the field edge just before joining the main road and use it until just before the bridge. From here again the most direct way into Blairgowrie is along the pavement beside the main road, whilst Blacou two follows a mixture of quiet residential roads, cycle route and pavements. I cannot give this route 5 stars as the use of the field edge just north of the Couttie Bridge is a bit tricky....

However there are plans for an off road route between Luncarty and Stanley, so if these come to fruition the route would become much easier to use. The route as a whole would only be usable by walkers, due to this constraint, also there are steps up to Stanley, and other parts of the route are on uneven, rough paths with tree roots. However parts of the route would be usable by wheelchairs especially from Perth north to the River Almond, and the paths and farm tracks closer to Blairgowrie should be usable by off road wheelers. The route heads north from Perth City Centre on a very pleasant paved cycle route along the North Inch, beside the River Tay. The route crosses the River Almond on the former A9 bridge with little traffic. A brief distance along the pavement beside the B9099 the route heads towards a rather dilapidated bridge over the Ordie Burn at Milton of Luncarty (photo). An active travel route between Luncarty and Stanley is being considered, but a route has yet to be agreed....
