Caisteal Dubh Trail

A steady climb through the colourful birch forest to an Iron Age hill fort at Black Castle with commanding views over Strathtay.

When the local Picts lived here, the stone ramparts of the fort didn't just keep out invaders, they kept out the other locals – wolves and...possibly bears.

Stone cairns stand guard a little below the fort. Some were built in the 1800s but no one knows why they're here. Do you have a theory?

3 ¾ miles / 6.0 km

Allow 2 ½ hours
