Jarrold Pathfinder 27 - Perthshire, Angus & Fife
ISBN: 0-7117-0673-5
Approaching the eastern part of central Scotland from the A9 north of Stirling, where the Grampians dominate the horizon, it appears at first glance to be mountain country. In fact much of the area is low-lying, with flat woodland and agricultural land bordered by gentle, rounded hills and an attractive North Sea coastline.
Perthshire has enough lochs to vie with Cumbria's Lake District, including lochs Earn, Rannoch, Tay, Leven and Tummel (all featured here). The latters provides one of the most popular views in Scotland, the Queen's View.
Dunsinane Hill and the site of Macbeth's castle can be seen on the Sidlaw Hills in Strathmore, Angus, and there are also coastal walks around the Fife peninsula, with its waterfront villages, sheltered harbours and sandy beaches. Other highlights are Kinnoull Hill, with its 360¡C panorama of the Perthshire Peaks, and the craggy St Andrews coast.
