Hillwalking Killin, Acharn and Glen Ogle

Acharn Woods and Glen Ogle

Description:

Distance 8m,/13km Steady climbs/steep descent Forest track

This is part of the C7 cycleway - beware bikes!!!

From the West car park near the bridge at the falls, cross the Dochart Bridge and then head west along the main road.

Opposite the war memorial, walk up the track between the two bungalows, through the big gate and right on to the old railway line.

Follow the old railway track to a point where a fence crosses the track - turn left here and follow the track up the hill. This track rises towards Glen Ogle. Just before a gate, turn left and head in an easterly direction, skirting the lower slopes of Ben Leabhain.

The views to east and west here are magnificent, and if you come here at sunset with some clouds high in the sky, it's a sight you won't forget.

Continue until you reach a ‘T' junction in the track where you turn left and downhill. The route follows the Achmore burn down to the south LochTay road where you turn left to return to the Dochart Bridge.
