Each day there is a choice of 3 - 4 walks to suit all abilities. These are classified as Easy, Medium, Hard and Extra Hard. We expect people to use common sense about which walks they book for, but we also specifically ask everyone to note the guidance on fitness and equipment and to note the terms and conditions.

Please Note: Children are welcome but must be accompanied by a responsible adult and be capable of completing the walk. Minimum age for Medium walks is twelve and minimum age for Hard and Extra Hard walks is sixteen.

The Tryst's guided walks are led by experienced leaders and assistant leaders on a voluntary basis. They are there to ensure that the correct routes are followed as well as providing interesting information on our beautiful landscape, and in many cases, our droving heritage. Please listen carefully to the information that the Walk Leaders give at the start of each walk so that your day will be as enjoyable and fulfilling as possible. The organisers reserve the right to change the walks at short notice due to adverse weather conditions.

Some of the walks retrace the steps of the original drovers, following ancient paths they trod with their cattle as they brought them to market. Crieff Market - originally on the site of present-day Morrison's Academy and then at the Market Park - was once the largest cattle market in Europe. Here Scottish Highlanders met Scottish Lowlanders and the English to sell the prized herds that they had brought many miles. Often these same Highlanders were then hired to drive the cattle onwards to their ultimate destinations. Highland cattle can now be seen increasingly throughout Scotland as the breed makes a come-back from days when they were considered uncommercial. We regret that none of the Tryst walks is accompanied by Highland cattle, except by accident!
