My absolute favorite tour in this area – it combines all the best: the swimming spot on the River Quoich, the wild waters of the Linn of Dee, a break at the idyllic Bob Scott's Bothy, a bit of uphill fun at the pass, and the sweeping views through Glen Lui. It doesn't get any more beautiful than this!
