Gurlet

The walk up Gurlet is straightforward enough - nothing too technical, nothing that requires ropes or special kit. It's the sort of peak that rewards you without making you suffer for it, which honestly is rare in this part of Perthshire. The views from the top open out across the Tummel Valley, and on a clear day you can see right across to the higher peaks that line the horizon. Pitlochry sits within spitting distance, so this works brilliantly as a half-day outing if you're based at one of the nearby caravan parks.

Allow two to three hours for the round trip, depending on fitness and how long you linger at the summit. It's the kind of walk that families with older kids will manage without drama, though younger children might find it a slog on the way back down. The terrain is mostly rough moorland and grassy slopes - wear proper boots because it gets boggy in places, particularly after rain.

What makes Gurlet work for a park holiday is its proximity to Pitlochry itself. You could easily base yourself at Milton Of Fonab Caravan Park or Faskally Woods Holiday Park and knock this out before lunch, then spend the afternoon exploring the town or tackling something more ambitious nearby. It's not a dramatic peak, but it's reliable and the views justify the effort. Go midweek if you can - weekends get busier with locals doing their regular circuits.
