Great ride between Killin and Kenmore. Road was good but a real rollercoaster! Very few flat areas but beautiful none the less. Also, stopped for a bowl of soup at the Ferryman, which was excellent.

Pier Road takes you down to the wooded shoreline on the west side of Loch Tay. It is a woodland area, but there are opportunities to get close to the shoreline in many places to get the sublime views eastwards across the loch. Nearby there is also Finlarig Castle to visit, and there is parking nearby.

Quiet road with good surfaces. Undulating.

Permanently closed it seems

Very scenic. Various car parking areas are nearby so a useful start/finish location. And of course, there's the Tamouth Courtyard restaurant and village shop just north up the road

The 6th largest loch in Scotland (by area) Loch Tay is long and deep (23.5km long and 150m deep). There is a road on both sides of the lake so you can walk a loop but the road on the northern shore is faster and not that fun to walk on. The Munros to the north are brilliant walking country though.

Currently closed over the winter of 2022-2023. It's been a quality and successful cafe so hopefully re-opening in the spring.

Rode this as part of my trip from Killin to Kirkmichael and even though I was fully loaded with panniers and bike bags it wasn't too bad with a nice mix of ascents and descents plus stunning views! Also nice and quiet with little in the way of vehicle traffic as they all stay on the busier north road. Highly recommend this route for touring or just as a nice way of getting between Kenmore and Killin
