Laggan Hill

Length: 3 miles Height climbed: 650ft./200m Grade: B Parking: Crieff and The Knock Toilet facilities: Crieff (James Square) A relaxed walk across a gentle hill west of Crieff. Length about four miles. The walk starts near Taylor Park (as for Lady Mary's Walk). Cross the River Turret and turn left beyond the Oakbank Inn. Continue along this minor road for about quarter of a mile. Just beyond a cottage with stone gateposts. Bear right on to a track leading through farmland and then mixed woodland. There are attractive views back to Crieff before the path narrows and continues through overgrown woodland for about one-third of a mile. You eventually emerge at the top of the low hill near Laggan Road. known locally as Puddock Pond - a "puddock' being a frog. Follow the footpath down the other side of a hill turning right at the second junction and walking down to the main Crieff/Comrie road (A85). From here either retrace your steps or continue along the main road back to Crieff (2 miles). Last updated November 1999
