An impressive waterfall suddenly appears behind the cast-iron suspension bridge in the foreground. I paused here to enjoy it.

Trail Beneath Beinn á Chait

Highlight • Trail

Routes towards Beinn a Chait and nearby Beinn Dearg - probably best hiked from here.
That said, there's a great gravel farm access track that loops here from Blair Atholl around to Allt Sheicheachan Bothy and back to Blair Atholl.

Blair Castle

Highlight • Castle

To really see the castle properly, you'll have to pay to visit. From the surrounding roads and paths, you'll only see parts of it, but the white building is immediately noticeable.

October 14, 2023,eMTB 🚴‍♂️ Gravel: Blair Atholl -> Allt Scheicheachan Bothy - Loop

A clear bright but fairly windy day. An extra power level was required on the eMTB in places just to cancel the wind resistance. Good estate gravel double-track all the way around - a pleasurable adventure (aka no mud). Never approached the Bothy from the northeast before so extra interesting.
