Embark on the Dunkeld Loch Ordie Butterstone Loop for a difficult mountain biking adventure spanning 24.0 miles (38.6 km) with a significant 2152 feet (656 metres) of elevation gain. This route typically takes about 3 hours and 35 minutes to complete, guiding you through diverse terrain from natural cross-country paths to forest roads. You'll experience superb scenery, passing classic spots like Loch Ordie and enjoying excellent viewpoints over Loch Benachally, all while traversing forests and open glens where you might spot red kites.
Before you set out, be aware that the track on the southern side of Loch Ordie can become extremely muddy after rain, so checking weather conditions is a good idea. Cell reception can be limited in higher areas, and there are no food or drink options directly on the trail, so make sure to stock up in Dunkeld. Dunkeld itself serves as an excellent starting point, offering cafes, shops, and bike services.
This loop is set within the expansive Atholl Estate, offering a rich natural environment with varied landscapes. The journey takes you past several small lochs, creating a tranquil atmosphere amidst the more challenging sections. It's a route that truly showcases the region's beauty, combining demanding climbs with rewarding views and a chance to immerse yourself in the Scottish countryside.
