Perth to Dunkeld
This gentle ride takes you between two fascinating places, there are no major climbs, and you can take the train back to your starting point.

You then follow tracks beside the River Almond, passing close by Huntingtower Castle, before reaching Almondbank and continuing to Dunkeld.
