The track runs through the woods of Laggan Hill, then descends bending gradually left with a wall to its right. After a brief rise, take a kissing-gate on the left signposted for Laggan Road. This path winds downhill, with views to Torlum Hill, to meet a wide earth track. Turn right for 50 metres, then left on wide path signposted for Crieff by Lady Mary’s Walk.

The path soon reaches River Earn and turns downstream. After 1.5km, at a signpost, the track bends up left away from the river, but fork right on a small riverside path. This soon bends left, to run upstream to left of Turret Burn. It emerges at the road bridge to MacRosty Park.

There is limited verge parking east of the track foot above Loch Freuchie (NN863388) for a pick-up or drop-off on a shorter route leaving out the less interesting bits. Sma’ Glen to the track foot via Glen Almond and Glen Lochan gives you 14km with 250m ascent (8.5 miles/800ft) – about 4hr.
