When exploring the River Avon near Tomintoul, consider embarking on the 16-mile round-trip route from Tomintoul village to the picturesque Linn of Avon. This gentle path is suitable for both walking and cycling, offering a serene journey through heather-covered hills and along the lively river. Keep an eye out for red squirrels and hares that inhabit the area. Along the way, you'll pass by the Queen’s View, a spot where Queen Victoria once admired the expansive landscape of her royal estate. The trail follows a landrover track and eventually joins a private, single-track road, providing a peaceful and less-traveled experience. Remember to wear appropriate footwear and bring a map, as the terrain can be uneven and weather conditions may change.

The Union Canal crosses the River Avon via the Avon Aqueduct. It was completed in 1821 and built to a design by Hugh Baird, with advice from Thomas Telford. It's 810 feet (250 m) long and 86 feet (26 m) high. Both the John Muir Way and the Union Canal towpath cross the aqueduct.

Great place for a week break. Features a bench and stunning views over the Avon valley

Graveyard of the Stirling family of Muiravonside. Look out for the tombstone of nanny Janet, the family’s nurse for 45 years.

You need to get off the bike here and push it over.

Excellent viewing spot for the Avon Aqueduct. There are a set of steps here where you can walk up to the Aqueduct and walk across for even more stunning views. The aqueduct was built to a design by Hugh Baird, with advice from Thomas Telford, in tandem with the aqueducts at Slateford and Lin's Mill, with which it shares its design. Telford was not convinced that the stone arches were necessary in conjunction with the iron trough, but Baird used both on all three major aqueducts. Construction was carried out by Messrs. Craven, Whitaker and Nowell between 1819 and 1821, their success in building a stone bridge over the River Ouse making their tender for the contract "by far the most eligible." The aqueduct straddles the border between the West Lothian and Falkirk Council areas, so has two Historic Scotland listings. The aqueduct is a category A listed building.
