This superb circular walk climbs some 370 metres up through the beautifully wooded Birnam Hill, offering magnificent views across the settlements below before reaching King’s Seat summit
Around the route's southern end, a short detour leads to Stair Bridge – a folly with a breath-taking view towards Perth. If you're lucky, you may spot a black grouse.
Mainly forest and open moorland paths, with a few steep rocky inclines, some muddy and boggy open areas.
Sturdy footwear and walking poles advised. Gaitors recommended.
IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO CAR SHARE, PLEASE REMEMBER TO TAKE A CHANGE OF FOOTWEAR.
