| book description |

This popular, flexible trail appeals to both walkers and cyclists and its second edition has appeared after only one year.Â Walk 50 miles from Loch Tay to Perth, or cycle 65 miles from Loch Tay to Dundee or mix and match.Â Or use Scotlandâ€™s longest river for part of your journey by boat or kayak.Â Create your own adventure. Perthshire is home to grand scenery, famous trees and glorious wildlife.Â Both routes start from Loch Tay, where the nearby Crannog Centre celebrates Iron Age history, crafts and heritage.Â The walking route passes along forest tracks, ancient paths andÂ disused railway trackbed,Â whilst cyclists follow cycleways NCN7 and 77 on tarmac. Enjoy a valley rich in native woodlands, birds and red squirrels. The River Tay is home to salmon and half of the worldâ€™s freshwater pearl mussels. Most walkers will need 4-5 days to complete the 50-mile journey to Perth via Dunkeld.Â Cyclists with suitable bikes can complete the longer route from Loch Tay to Dundee via Perth over 2 to 3 days.Â Walkers and cyclists can divide the route into manageable sections and stay in welcoming villages. The guidebook features detailed directions and concise background, with illustrated sections on prehistory, heritage and wildlife.Â It offers practical help with accommodation and refreshments, and recommendsÂ side-trips along the way.Â Lavishly illustrated, the book features customised mapping on 25 of its 80 pages, has over 100 colour photos and is perfect bound.Â
