Tag: Walking in Comrie

The Balloch (exploring)

4 miles

START – car park on minor road between Comrie and Crieff. From Comrie, follow Strowan Road and take a right turn after roughly 3 miles (signposted Balloch).

The Loch of Balloch in the distance.

Was looking for a path leading to the Loch of Balloch. May have found one but there were too many fallen trees after a very stormy weekend, so I stayed on this charming minor road. Good road for a bike ride.

Path to Crieff via Knock Mary (walk)

2.5 miles one way

START – Signpost on minor road not far from the Loch of Balloch, near Crieff and Comrie.
To get there from Comrie, follow Strowan Road, ignore right turn to Glascorrie, and take a bit further the next minor road on the right (signposted Balloch). Parking possibilities on the way.

Glimpse of Crieff.
There is another path before the farm.
Stopped there due to heavy rain.

Nice walk. Was planning to go to The Loch of Balloch, but got distracted by the above signpost to Knock Mary. Towards the end of the walk, there is a path before the farm that I missed. Will come back in nicer weather to finish the walk and do a loop.

Comrie-The Milton-Balmuick Farm loop (walk)

6 miles approx.

START – Golf course car park in Comrie. Look out for footbridge at back of car park. Follow Laggan Wood signpost on the right before the footbridge.

  • Follow circular walk.
  • Right here (Laggan Wood Viewpoint picnic table is on the left).
  • Right again.
  • Path joins with The Milton.
  • Look for narrow path on the opposite side (see note).
  • Straight on (right goes to the West Lodge).
  • Follow blue signpost.
  • Straight on (blue signpost on the right leads to Loch Turret)
  • Balmuick Farm
  • Back to The MIlton.
  • Retrace your steps.

GREAT loop, beautiful scenery!
NOTE – take narrow path about 20 steps on the left of the directly opposite and more obvious path (that leads to a bench and a dead end).
