The Linn of Quoich and Glen Quoich circuit

The walk starts from the National Trust for Scotland's pay and display car park at the end of the public road to the Linn of Quoich and goes round in a loop. A path and an estate track run up the south-west side of the Quoich Water through old Scots pine woodland to a footbridge, 2.3 km from the car park. A path then comes back down the north-east bank, crossing two burns by fords, past two small waterfalls, and runs above the Linn of Quoich, where the river drops through a narrow rock channel beside the Punch Bowl, a round hole in the rock, before the last stretch to the car park.

It is 4.7 km (2.9 miles) with 67 m (220 ft) of ascent; allow about 1½ hours. The grade is Easy.

The National Trust for Scotland warns that the burn on this path can rise quickly in very wet weather and may be uncrossable; if it is, go back the way you came. The pinewood here is being regenerated, and the Trust asks for dogs to be kept on a lead or under close control, especially in the ground-nesting bird season (April to August). The Heading for the Scottish Hills table has no row for Glen Quoich below the hills.

The Linn of Quoich car park is a pay car park (OpenStreetMap lists a fee).
