Rob Roy way

I headed down to Pitlochry today to look for dry weather and explore some routes there. I found out about the Rob Roy way which goes up over the hill opposite Pitlochry and down to Grandtully. You are straight into a long steep climb with several route options branching off. Once at the top there is a pictish stone circle to visit. Shortly after that you come to a signpost and a long single track descent all the way down. Grassy at the top and then narrow an twisty with some technical bits. Great. There were a bunch of folk kayaking on a slalom course right under Grandtully bridge so I watched them for a while. I came back on the road via Logierait bridge and the back road having been unable to find another singletrack section beside the river Tay.
