We love this walk – it's an easy one for a lazy Sunday afternoon and the scenery varies from woodland to more open views towards the mountains, including the famous Ben Vrackie. On 6th October these views were spectacular, with the trees taking on their autumn colours and the sun shining despite ominous clouds. A great day to have my video camera with me.
I'd advise you to buy the Pitlochry Path Network map from the Tourist Information Centre. It only costs a pound and includes seven other walks around Pitlochry. From the Tourist Information Centre the Moulin Walk starts just a couple of minutes down the road at the left turn-off just before the railway bridge.
This brings you around the Atholl Palace Hotel and through the woods by Kinnaird Burn. You can then visit the remains of Caisteal Dubh (Black Castle, circa 1326) en route to Moulin. The C12th Crusader's grave at Moulin Kirk is a "must see", and as you'll have worked up a thirst there's nowhere better to quench it than at the historic Moulin Hotel, which has its own wee brewery.
