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....

I walked this route backwards - from Coupar Angus to Blairgowrie, which may be why some of it was hard to find....

This is a good route, following mainly farm tracks and minor roads, apart from where it crosses fields just east of the A94 midway along the route. There was very little traffic on the roads, but the northern part of the route, after Damside, is almost exclusively on tarmac, so quite hard on the feet.. The final section of the route, down into Coupar Angus, is on a 'Walking and cycling friendly road', with a speed limit of 40mph. 1) Midway along the route it crosses a field just east of the A94, and the route is not very clear (although it is a core path here),...

I also found it easier just to follow the road up to Fifebanks, rather than trying to follow the path along Dron Burn. Would suggest turning left when leaving the path from Kettins and just walking into to town via the Dundee Road....
