덴 오브 에얼리 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

Good to shelter if necessary in the rain. Not quite a bothy though as the shed isn't fully sealed so lots of bird debris inside

A pleasant town with the expected shops etc. A good location for a planned break.

You can gain access through the locked gate - ask a local person about the key.

A useful waypoint. Northwards it's a steep dirt path climb over to Spittal of Glenshee - aka hike-a-bike. Southwards, a nice track down to Enochdhu.

Nice track for MTB and gravel bikes.

A nice grass/dirt narrow path. April 2025 - there's a fallen tree that has to be climbed over or under.

Steep climb out from Rattray. Of course, no problem with a powerful ebike.

The Lunch Hut, built around 1950 for driven grouse shooting, originally had two compartments—one for the guns and one for the beaters. Today, it serves as a welcome shelter for walkers on the Cateran Trail. On October 13, 1865, Queen Victoria passed this way on her journey from Dunkeld to Balmoral, riding her Highland pony with John Brown. At the Lairig gate overlooking the Spittal, the party stopped for tea, only to discover the kettle had been forgotten, causing a delay while one was fetched. This story is recounted in Queen Victoria’s Highland Journals, edited by David Duff.
