A short but beautiful loop up the Moness Burn, which inspired Burns to write the lyrics for The Birks of Aberfeldy. Perfect for a leg stretch when you're travelling, for wee legs, or recovery after a bigger mission.
The start is well signposted. Anti-clockwise will give a slightly gentler climb, clockwise has you climbing over the few slightly technical (slippy) steps.
