Upon leaving the House of Bruar, turn Right and re-trace your tracks down the B8079
back through Blair Atholl and Killiecrankie. About 1 mile after Killiecrankie Visitor
Centre take the right hand turn on the B8019 (signposted Queens View & Tummel
Bridge). You will follow the River Tummel as it winds its way through the Glen until
you reach Queens View where there is a Visitor Centre (small charge for car
parking). Generally believed to be named after Queen Victoria who took tea here in
1866, the viewpoint actually commemorates Queen Isabella, wife of Robert the Bruce
who ruled Scotland between 1306 and 1329. The stunning view across Loch Tummel
to Schiehallion (1081 metres / 3547 feet) is one of the most famous in Scotland.
After leaving the Visitor Centre continue on the B8019 through Strathtummel and
Tummel Bridge observing beautiful views of Loch Tummel and the River Tummel as
you go. At the bridge, do not cross the river, but continue straight ahead to where
another loch, Dunalastair Water opens out in front of you. You will soon come to a
small layby on the left, close to the waters edge, where you can park your car, and
take some fabulous photos of Schiehallion (the perfect shaped mountain more about
this later). Continue on the same road, looking out for a beautiful waterfall down the
rocks on your right, just before you enter the village of Kinloch Rannoch.
Depending on your energy levels, there is a beautiful drive around Loch Rannoch but
this will add an extra hour to your journey. If you choose to do this, continue straight
ahead in Kinloch Rannoch and keep the loch on your left hand side. You will
eventually rejoin the route 1 mile away from the South end of Kinloch Rannoch, at
Innerhadden, where you should take the right hand turning onto Schiehallion Road.
If you are not following the extended route, you should turn left in the village and
cross the bridge. For the next ½ mile, at the next few junctions, take the left exit of
each and you will eventually come out on a single track road called Schiehallion
Road. You are now at the same point as you would have been if you had taken the
extended route round Loch Rannoch.
You now follow the single track road at the base of Schiehallion. Schiehallion is an
extremely important mountain due to its almost perfect shape (which you observed
from Dunalastair Water). The name is invariably translated as The Fairy Hill of the
Caledonians, which always seems a lot of meaning to fit into one word, even a fairly
long one: but it's one of those mountain names it's worth knowing just because it is so
attractive. Schiehallion is sometimes described as the centre of Scotland. The
justification is that the line of latitude midway between the most northerly and
southerly points on the Scottish mainland, and the line of longitude midway between
the most easterly and westerly points, intersect very near the summit of Schiehallion.
Schiehallion's other main claim to fame is that it was the location of the first ever
measurement of the mass of the earth by the then Astronomer-Royal, Nevil
Maskelyne. This was based on the way its own mass caused a pendulum to pull away
from the vertical. Schiehallion's isolated position and regular shape led it to be
selected for a ground-breaking experiment to estimate the mass of the Earth in 1774.
The deflection of a pendulum by the mass of the mountain provided an estimate of the
density of the Earth, from which its mass and a value for Newton's gravitational
constant G could be deduced. Maskelyne was assisted in his task by mathematician
Charles Hutton, who devised a graphical system to represent large volumes of
surveyed heights, later to become known as contour lines. As you drive the winding
road at the base of Schiehallion, you will see a plaque installed on a stone pillar in a
vehicle layby on your right (worth reading), this marks the start of the path to the top
of Schiehallion for the mountain goats amongst you!.
Continue to follow this road and you will pass a small loch (Loch Kinardochy) on
your left before coming to the junction with the B846 where you should turn right. If
you have had very little chance to see any wildlife on your trip, you should finish off
your day with a visit to Glengoulandie Country Park, a small park where you can see
Red Deer & Highland Cattle. The cost is minimal and if you have your own 4x4 car
you can drive it off-road to see the animals, otherwise you can hire the 4 wheel drive
vehicle at the centre, for a small extra charge.
After Glengoulandie, continue on the B846 and take the first turning on the right at
Keltneyburn, then continue on this road until you get to Fortingall. In Fortingall it is
worth stopping to see the Fortingall Yew Tree (the oldest living thing in Europe,
reported to be up to 5000 years old). The tree is situated in the grounds of the
beautiful Fortingall Church and next door to Fortingall Hotel, a nice place to stop and
reflect before getting back to The Cottage.
From here continue on the road and take both left hand junctions to pass through
Fearnan, where you should turn left at the main junction onto the main North Loch
Tay Road. Continue through to Dalerb, where you can pull into the car park and see
the steamship restoration project, The Spirit of The Tay.

Highland Perthshire is an incredibly dramatic part of the world. It boasts some of the highest mountains, some of the most beautiful and tranquil lochs and the longest and loneliest glen in Scotland. Many beautiful, unspoilt hamlets, villages and towns nestle in what is commonly known as Big Tree Country and the capital, Perth, is a delightful, vibrant city for young and old alike
Loch Tay is the sixth largest loch in Scotland and is over 150 metres deep at its deepest. It is approximately 14½ miles long and over a mile wide. Ben Lawers, the UKs 10th highest mountain at 1214m, proudly emerges from the waters of the loch to provide a dramatic backdrop. Two rivers feed the loch, the Lochay and the the Dochart. The latter flowing over spectacular falls in the village of Killin to the West. Loch Tay feeds the River Tay, the longest river in Scotland, and one of the best salmon fishing rivers in Europe. Kenmore, a small unspoilt village at the head of Loch Tay, boasts the oldest inn in Scotland, The Kenmore Hotel, which dates back to 1572.
Every imaginable watersport from scuba diving to parascending is available on the loch, whilst the mountains are home to hikers, gorge walkers, field sports fanatics, mountaineers and wildlife enthusiasts. Cyclists and horse riders can saddle up in the local area and there are two golf courses (one 9 and one 18 hole) within 5 minutes drive. Dewars distillery in Aberfeldy will delight the whisky connoisseur, whilst younger visitors will find the local wildlife parks more to their taste.
