Caputh Hill

The walk up Caputh Hill rewards you with proper views across Perthshire once you've earned them. It's not a massive undertaking - more of a solid afternoon walk than an all-day expedition - but the climb is genuine enough that you'll feel the legs working on the way up.

From the summit you get sight lines across to the surrounding countryside, and on a clear day it's the kind of vantage point that makes you understand why folk have been drawn to this corner of Tayside for centuries. The hill itself isn't dramatic or rocky; it's more green and rolling, which means you can walk it in ordinary boots without needing crampons or ropes.

This works best for walkers after a morning or afternoon in the hills without committing to something like Ben Lomond. Families with older kids will manage it fine, though younger legs might find the climb tedious. The walk takes roughly two to three hours return from Erigmore, depending on fitness and how long you dawdle at the top.

If you're staying at Erigmore Holiday Park or Inver Mill Farm Caravan Park nearby, Caputh Hill makes a decent addition to a wider Perthshire walking itinerary. It's the sort of local hill that rewards a visit without overselling itself. Go on a day when the weather's playing ball - mist renders it considerably less appealing - and you'll get decent value from the effort.
