Help connect Pitlochry
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 Pitlochry’s Slow Ways.

Route walked from Blair Atholl to Pitlochry. If leaving from Pitlochry station to head towards Blair Atholl, cross the footbridge and then turn north on platform 2 to find the way out of the station. Here there is a pavement along the the main road and then an alternative path through woods on the opposite side of the road can be taken to avoid walking on the road around a blind bend. The route rejoins a tarmac road with occasional vehicular traffic accessing the House and the Fishery Research Centre. The path leaves and rejoins the road so care needs to be taken with navigation here....

Don't miss the standing stones at the highest point and take care xrossing the A9....
There are also works happening north of there so I'd suggest walking the Schiehallion Road and the B846....

I have walked it several times , always in Autumn and it can be pretty muddy. Quite steep path down into Pitlochry but very pretty. Plenty opportunity for coffee/cake when you arrive there!...
Gail Robertson
Between Aberfeldy and Grandtully the route may be accessible for off road wheelers, but between Strathtay and Pitlochry the route is suitable for walkers only, being narrow (especially at a deer fence kissing gate), rough, fairly steep, and muddy. Further east the route uses a former railway line all the way into Grandtully, passing beneath the A827 to reach a car park and campsite where there are toilets and picnic benches. The route follows forest tracks initially, then uses an old path, however this was very wet when we were there. The mapped route uses pavements beside Tummel Cres and Ferry Road up to the shops and cafes on the main street: alternatively a more direct but muddier route into Pitlochry is signposted to the town centre through woodland and past various car parks....

I walked from Pitlochry to Blair Atholl on 15 May 2021, partly in training for a longer walk, and using the rail network at each end. It's a good route, with attractive scenery, through woods and by the river. Navigation was straightforward....

The dog loved the route, and only needed to be on the lead for the road section where the quarry trucks were the only thing to watch out for. Cracking views on the Garry section and will be brilliant when the zip lines open up as you might get to see the action....
