Overview
The Rob Roy Way is a 128km walk linking Drymen at Loch Lomond with Pitlochry in Perthshire.
The route joins paths and tracks through some fine Highland scenery, taking advantage of some attractive villages and small towns for refreshment and accommodation. We will be doing the sections as days walks which are all commutable from the central belt. If you do not drive a lift will be required however as public transport on all sections is not suitable. The route begins through the forests of the Trossachs before a long stretch of cycleway leads through fine glens to Killin. From here the route climbs high into the hills before descending to follow the quiet and attractive road along the southern shores of Loch Tay. The main route then takes in a fine terrace with magnificent views before descending to Aberfeldy, before the final stretch along the river and over the moors to Pitlochry.
The route was originally devised by John Henderson and Jacquetta Megarry, and became one of Scotland's Great Trails in 2012. Will you be joining us!

Location & Itinerary
This is a series of long walks and as we get further in the hills become bigger. You will build your walking fitness as you go however but if unsure please contact the Spice Scotland office for guidance as this series is not for everyone.
Each Walk will have a meet point at the end from where we will car share to the start of the walk.
