This walk has it all - a spectacular gorge, crags, huge dizzying bridges and viaducts, a loch, waterfalls, luscious woodlands, ancient drove roads, monuments. There was even a battle here long ago! You walk through the Pass of Killiecrankie and Linn of Tummel, both areas of outstanding natural beauty.

It starts by following the bank of Loch Faskally through pleasant mixed woodland and past a small loch. It skirts Faskally House, taking another detour by Loch Faskally. The path then climbs into the dramatic Pass of Killiecrankie, passing Garry Bridge, a roadbridge which leads to the Queen's View.

The route goes right through the gorge to Soldier's Leap. This spectacular viewpoint is where Donald McBean, fighting for the Red Coats, made an amazing 18 foot leap across the gorge to escape marauding Scots at the Battle of Killiecrankie. In autumn, salmon can be spotted leaping up the rapids in the river below!

At this point you can visit Killiecrankie Visitor Centre and its excellent exhibition, run by the National Trust for Scotland. The route then heads down into Killiecrankie Village, crosses the River Garry and climbs up a steep, small road to the parish church at Tenandry, an extraordinary beautiful location.

It then drops to the Garry road bridge, which is perched dizzyingly above the gorge and into Linn of Tummel, providing wonderful autumnal views towards the Ben a' Ghlo range of hills at that time of year. Eventually it reaches the Coronation Bridge over the River Tummel. Finally, the way back follows a small, winding country road for several kilometres, crossing Loch Faskally by Clunie Bridge in the shadow of the dramatic A9 bridge. The last kilometre of the walk returns along the outward route.
