📌 Almondbank, Perth & Kinross
★★
This circuit follows the River Almond (the Perthshire one, not to be confused with the River Almond in West Lothian) upstream from Almondbank village, passing some impressive cliffs and an attractive weir en route to the road bridge at Dalcrue. The return is through mixed woodland, with a visit to Methven Loch where you might spot ducks, geese or other waterfowl.
