Fiddler's Path is named after a local fiddler who used to compose tunes while sitting on the river bank. Although, the actual spot is on the opposite bank from here [which you pass on the return journey], I think this section is the best with the more scenic views of the River Tay

Hiking

A splendidly smooth and scenic gravel and asphalt path/track graces the river's east side, offering a delightful hikee. Portions of this route are part of National Cycle Route 77, while sections around Dunkeld House Hotel see it merging with vehicular roads. To the north of the hotel, the path transitions to asphalt. On the river's west side, hikers can find a more rugged dirt path, catering to those seeking a bumpier journey.
