A long-distance walk from Drymen to Pitlochry

Rucksack Readers have written a book called The Rob Roy Way about a new long-distance walk from Drymen to Pitlochry. It runs for 79 miles (126 km) along some of Scotland's finest lochs and glens, using historic footpaths, a cycle route, forest tracks and some minor road. Much of the Way is linked with Scotland's most famous outlaw, Rob Roy MacGregor (1671-1734).

The Way has no official status: walking enthusiasts have negotiated the route with private landowners, Forest Enterprise, Stirling and Perth Councils and other official bodies. The walk offers magnificent views, but is generally less strenuous than the West Highland Way. It is not waymarked as such, but the book gives detailed directions. Although walkers are always advised to carry a compass, you are unlikely to need it unless walking an exposed section in winter.
