To begin the three-day wild trek through the Cairngorms, a classic Scottish Glen (steep-sided with a rushing river and falls) leads up to wide-open heather hills, and the section ends at the remote location of Bynack Lodge ruins.

Walk beside the relatively broad River Tummel only briefly before following River Garry into its narrow and thickly wooded ravine, then through a higher valley and a string of small farm villages.
Moderate Hiking
Back on Rob Roy Way and in more developed country, the trail traces the wooded banks of River Tay, then climbs through moorland and forestry to enter the next valley, that of River Tummel and Pitlochry.

Walk along the loch and through farmland in a broad glen, climb out onto rolling moorland, then descend gradually along a burn before dropping dramatically through the Birks of Aberfeldy—a series of waterfalls in a wooded gorge.

On this section the trail moves into more remote settings with steeper glens, higher surrounding mountains, longer stretches with no roads, and no regular services until the end of the next section.
