Castle Dow Walk


Here are some pictures I took today on the Castle Dow walk at Grandtully. It was uphill all the way but it was definitely worth the effort for the view at the top where you find yourself surrounded by Victorian cairn like sculptures. The view of the river Tay was spectacular, especially in the low winter light. Throughout most of the walk you follow the forestry commission road until the last few paces where you take a narrow track to the summit of the hill. The walk was about 4.5miles (to the top and back down). Apparently there is to be a hill run there at some point as well. To all those brave and mad enough to participate in the event, I salute you!
