Broad Moss

You won't find café queues or gift shops at Broad Moss. What you will find is a proper walk that earns its views across Perthshire's rolling terrain, with Blairgowrie sitting modest in the valley below. The peak itself is moorland - open, windswept, the sort of place where weather changes fast and the horizon stretches properly.

It's a hill walk, not a scramble. The ascent from Blairgowrie is gradual enough that families with older kids can manage it, though younger ones might flag on the way back when legs are tired. Allow two to three hours depending on pace and how long you linger at the top. The views reward the effort but they're not dramatic - no jagged ridges or sudden drops. Instead, you get that quiet satisfaction of being somewhere most day-trippers skip.

If you're staying at one of the caravan parks nearby - Blairgowrie Holiday Park is closest at 1.4 miles - this fits well into a rambling break in the area. It's the kind of walk that makes sense if you're already exploring the Perthshire hills rather than a special journey in itself. Go when the light's good, ideally not at peak season when the car park gets rammed. Spring and autumn tend to be better for visibility.

Bring a proper jacket and check the forecast. Moorland weather is unforgiving.
