Seasonal nature notes and what to look for now

  • 🌞Midsummer — early morning visits most comfortable; look for deer fawns in quieter clearings
  • Historic character is a year-round quality here — summer brings its own atmosphere to the setting
  • 🐕Dogs welcome — bring water in summer; the site has enough space to find shade on hot days

Dunkeld Dull Strathtay LoopCycling route

From Dunkeld (under the A9 via the underpass) to Dull via Strathbraan and Aberfeldy. Past Aberfeldy, a short detour to Dull makes an interesting stop off. Return but stay north of the Tay and head to Strathtay. Take the Dalguise road and back to Dunkeld.
