After 800 metres the path rises a little, to join a wider path above. Keep ahead down this, to pass above a car park overlooking the golf course. This car park has a viewpoint indicator in it. If you keep on ahead above the car park onto the tarmac lane, the Knock End car park is reached in another few hundred metres. (The circuit from that car park is about 2hr.)

Turn down through the car park to steps marked ‘Celebration Woodland’. A fenced path leads down into a field assigned to woodland. Go down through a gate onto the golf course, and turn left to a tarmac lane. Turn right down this, past various outdoor Experiences and Centres of the Crieff Hydro.

Just past the golf clubhouse, as the lane bends left, keep ahead into a dirt track signposted for Glenturret Distillery (aka the Famous Grouse Experience). It leads down into woodland, to a three-way signpost.

‘Knock Only’ option

Turn left at this signpost, marked ‘Comrie Road’. The broad earth path soon reaches River Turret. This is ‘Lovers’ Walk’, and romantic even for booted hillwalkers, downstream in riverside woods. On reaching A85 (Comrie Road) cross and turn left, to a signpost into MacRosty Park marked ‘Turret Bridge’. Follow this path above River Turret, then ahead through the riverside park to the walk start.
