Hiking

Polney Loch is a scenic little lochan above the Tayside village of Dunkeld. It's surrounded by lovely mature woodland and features on the popular Atholl Woods circuit walk. The lochan is frequented by a range of birdlife, including herons and moorhens.

Hiking

Usually pass here on the very good dirt track leading from the main road up to Cally Car Park. From Cally Car Park there are paths galore to choose from. Maybe a good waypoint rather than a destination.
