We are pleased to be promoting another path - Glen of Rait to Dalreichmoor via Shanry.  You can get details here.   This path can be combined with a walk on quiet roads through the Sidlaw hills returning past Evelick and Kilspindie to give a route that is over 6 miles long.

Ballindean - projects

Work on the route linking Wester Ballindean to the Kinnaird/Abernyte road began in June (2007) and apart from some minor items was completed by early July.   Signs have now been installed.

The route goes up the hill behind Wester Ballindean, following a disused path between two fields, then proceeds along the field margin and the edge of a wood plantation.

See below the stages in creating this path.

From here there are superb views of the Tay valley and across to Fife.  On a clear day you can see as far as Dundee and the Tay bridges in the east, and to Errol and beyond in the southwest.

The final stage! Testing the gate and views to the southwest.
