Beautiful calm sunset swim. Head to the Celtic cross on a 10-15 min walk signed by signs showing the cross symbol. Follow the path beyond it for a few more minutes and you'll find an exquisite place to swim. Relatively easy and very well marked trail. Swim is just lush.
Burn o vat is a beautiful place to visit for families, elders , dog walkers, or to make your picnic trips. You got loads of car parking. The walk is manageable for all ages and abilities. Lot to enjoy in this hidden gem small trekking is enjoyable it's a totally relaxing place.
Beautiful scenery, the hidden waterfall is an amazing place. A must see if you are in the area. The whole area is an amazing place to walk around. There are plenty of places to stop and rest, picnic, admire the view, or just stop to enjoy the peace and quiet.
Lovely lake walk, first time visiting for me. Will return to do the many others and give myself more time. I'd advise you take a map from the visitor centre before you set off, even though the paths are well signposted as some of the walks are longer than others.
Tranquil walking at Muir of Dinnet, climbing into the Vat (a vast granite bowl carved by a river under a glacier 20,000 years ago), plus seeing a 1000 year old Pictish cross, ancient hut circles and hundreds of butterflies
