The track is clearer, and becomes a firm stony one. It slants gently down the valley side to Dalrannoch farm. Here it becomes a tarmac driveway, descending to pass The Linn car park.

Various Perthshire villages have marked and maintained paths offering gentle walks in beautiful surroundings. This is one of the best, with wooden walkways above the Deil’s Caldron waterfall, and a viewpoint monument to a dodgy politician. There’s also a healing spring, a quiet riverbank, and the pretty village itself.

Start across the river, turning left on the main street past the white church (now community centre). The street bends right, past another car park (School Lane). At the next bend, keep ahead into Monument Road, and in 100 metres turn right at a footpath signpost for Deil’s Caldron.
