On a recent e-bike ride from Pitlochry south towards Dunkeld, high above the A9 and river Tay, on the old military road, and then eventually even higher up on to a forestry road/track running near a small hamlet called Dowally. The views were stunning, with no traffic, no petrol fumes, and those free range chickens 😉
The Rivers Tay & Tummel meet in the distance, south of Pitlochry. You just don’t get to see views like these when sat in your car on the A9..
