Tighness Burn

From the car park, cross the road and follow the path to your right for a short distance before turning left into Strathyre Forest. The grassy path climbs steadily following the contour of the Tighness Burn.

This area has been thinned of commercial conifers to leave behind the native Scots Pine. Take time to enjoy the fine views of Beinn an t-Sidhein, Ben Vane and the Braes of Balquhidder. The route crosses the burn over a wooden bridge before starting the descent through the forest and back to the car park.

As an alternative to the waymarked trail, turn on to the Coille MacCaskill Path. This area offers an excellent example of a native pinewood and is dedicated to Don MacCaskill who was a local forester and naturalist.
