Station to the Hermitage

Arriving by train to Dunkeld and Birnam, a visit to the Hermitage is highly recommended. Please use this route avoiding the A9 (which is unsuitable for pedestrians). Say hello to Niel Gow's statue and pass through his birthplace, Inver.

Covering just 3.1 km, this is a gentle outing perfect for families or beginners. Allow roughly 42 minutes.

This linear trail moves from one end to the other without looping back. A return journey by transport — or retracing the path — is needed to get back to the start.

Part of the Local Walking Network (LWN), this trail is ideal for exploring the neighbourhood landscape. It is typically well-known to local walkers and offers an authentic sense of place.
