After crossing the Bridge of Dochart at the south end of Killin, continue 800 metres to a road bend, and keep ahead to a car park. Start through a gate at its back right corner onto a gravelled railway track. Follow this over River Lochay, then turn right through a kissing-gate.

A path (sometimes underwater) runs along the riverbank to Loch Tay, then turns left along the loch shore. The shoreline path follows a sandbar, and it’s clear that the loch once flowed right to the doorsteps of what is now Killin. A gate leads back onto the railbed alongside Pier Road. Turn left along the railbed path for 600 metres under trees. Just before the road bends away right move across to join it, and follow it past Killin Cemetery to the A827 at Coach House Hotel.
