About Strone Hill
The walk up Strone Hill from Blairgowrie takes about two hours round trip, depending on your pace and how many times you stop to catch your breath. It's not a brutal climb - more of a steady plod through moorland that opens up proper views across Perthshire the higher you go. On a clear day, you're looking at the Cairngorms proper, and the rolling farmland dropping away below feels genuinely vast.
Walkers will get the most from this one. It's straightforward enough that families with reasonably fit kids can manage it, but there's nothing fancy at the top - no café, no visitor centre, just heather and horizon. That's rather the appeal, mind. You go for the walk itself and the space to think.
The terrain is rough in places, so proper boots matter. Midges can be grim in summer if the wind drops, so pick your timing. Spring or autumn tends to work better. Allow at least three hours if you're not a regular hill walker, and pack water.
If you're basing yourself at Nethercraig Holiday Park nearby - which gets solid reviews and sits just a couple of miles away - Strone Hill makes a satisfying morning or afternoon sortie. It's close enough to combine with other stuff in the area without eating your whole day, but far enough from the car park that you actually feel like you've earned the views.
