Three Saints WayWalking route130 km

Three Saints Way – Killin to St Andrews. The lives of three saints – Saint Kessog, Saint Fillan and Saint Serf – are commemorated by this pilgrimage, connecting Scotland’s dramatic west coast to the rocks and hills of the east.

Named routeRef TSWLength 130 kmRegional walking route
Aaron's WalkWalking route9.7 km

A route that takes in the historical sites around Abernethy but with minimal stretches on road. It was suggested by walking group regular Aaron who comes from Abernethy. The first half is very easy and flat. The second half involves steep hill climbs.
