This route combines great off-road cycling with a fabulous quiet road with rewarding views, featuring parts of the Cateran Trail which loops around the Cateran Ecomuseum.

The route starts at the Glenisla Village Hall, which provides car parking and picnic benches. It follows the B951 towards Kirriemuir for about 1.5 km, then following the track to the right for Whitehills and East Cammock after the East Mill House Pond.

The route follows the Cateran Trail, one of Scotland’s great long distance paths, on a track to Loanhead Farm. The route turns right and climbs up Kilry Hill, where it flattens and passes a cattle grid, and peaks at the second cattle grid. It’s worth stopping here for a break as the views are spectacular.

Following the road down the Glenisla side of the hill, the route passes Auchenleish Farm and Brewlands. Turn right where it meets the B951 and back to the start in Kirkton of Glenisla, where the hotel is only 100m away from the finish for refreshments.
