The Land Rover eases off the A9 and the road narrows into a ribbon of glassy river and tall firs; peat-dark water glares beside the tracks and the trees seem to lean in to listen. You begin in Dunkeld with its cathedral spire and stone streets, then move through designed 18th‑century pleasure grounds to the thunder of Black Linn Falls and the theatrical windows of Ossian’s Hall. A short walk at Soldiers’ Leap drops you to the River Garry where the current dares you to stay still.
