Auchtertyre Hill

The walk up Auchtertyre Hill near Blairgowrie is straightforward enough, though nothing particularly spectacular once you've summited. You're looking at roughly 45 minutes to an hour from the base, with decent views across Perthshire if the weather cooperates. On a clear day there's a decent vantage point over the surrounding farmland and forest, but I won't pretend it's going to take your breath away.

It works well as a half-day outing if you're staying at Five Roads Caravan Park - close enough that you can do it without a massive time commitment, far enough that it feels like a proper little expedition rather than just a stroll round the park. Families with kids aged seven or eight upwards will manage it fine. Younger ones might struggle with the pace, and honestly, anyone expecting dramatic Highland scenery should probably aim for something with a bit more altitude and grandeur.

The path itself is generally well-trodden and manageable in most conditions, though it can get muddy after rain. There's no entrance fee that I'm aware of - it's just a case of finding the start point and getting on with it. Worth doing if you're in the area for a few days and want to break up caravan life with some gentle hill-bagging, but don't rearrange your whole holiday around it. The Blairgowrie area has other walks with more interesting terrain if you're after something with a bit more character.
