Loch of the Lowes

A small visitor centre at Loch of the Lowes with some refreshments available. The road beyond the visitor centre is idyllic. Very quiet indeed and no traffic at all when I cycled it on a Sunday morning.

A bit of trouble getting to the start of the route... was ready to throw komoot under the bike wheels 🤣 a couple if really washed out trails that were unridable for me personally

Nice route with stunning views. Would be tempted try the other way around to take advantage of the road section for the climb. 2.25in tyres felt good, would be worried for some bits if <50mm. Muddy but easily rideable still, would be nice and fast in the dry. Taken from perthshire gravel by Markus Stitz perthshiregravel.com/routes/dunkeld-lochs-loop
