Hard run. Very good fitness required. Sure-footedness, sturdy shoes and alpine experience required. The starting point of the route is right next to a parking lot.

Stair Bridge Viewpoint Trail
Highlight • Viewpoint
A viewpoint with a bit of a very steep-sided path - don't fall off. Heading north aka downwards from Stair Bridge, the single-track dirt and natural gravel path soon becomes probably an S2 given its steepness and the rocky surface. There are also a few water gullies crossing the path for extra interest. Heading south, aka upwards, it's a boggy dirt path for about 300m until reaching a good wide gravel vehicle track.
For the buffs: The bridge was built around 1840, during Scotland’s golden age of estate grandeur; this beauty is considered the work of James Gillespie Graham.
