You can start this walk either in Dunkeld itself (North Car Park) or from the Cally Car Park just north of the town off the Blairgowrie Road.  This walk is great for lovers of wildlife, with the Scottish Wildlife Trust visitor centre the end destination, where during the nesting season you may be lucky enough to see the famous ospreys - just one of many species to be seen around Loch of the Lowes.
