Pass of Killiecrankie

The Pass of Killiecrankie is a picturesque gorge located along the River Garry with wooded riverside trails, a popular location for walkers and naturalists to explore.

Pass of Killiecrankie

The Pass of Killiecrankie has a number of easily accessible trails by the River Garry through fine oak and deciduous woodland, rich in magnificent wildlife. The foliage colours are particularly spectacular during the Autumn months, with the view along the pass from the Garry bridge being one of the most photographed in Perthshire. The gorge is a Site of Special Interest and lies within the Tummel National Scenic Area. The Killiecrankie Visitor Centre (NTS) is located above the gorge and features information on the outstanding beauty of the area and the bloody Jacobite battle fought here in 1689.

The Killiecrankie Visitor Centre is open from Easter to October 7 days a week 10am – 5pm and offers a programme of guided walks throughout the season. Accessible parking and drop off points are available as well as a picnic area, gift shop and public toilets. For those interested in bird watching remote camera links at the visitor centre enable the viewing of beautiful nestling woodland birds at close range. The Pass of Killiecrankie gorge and walking trails themselves are accessible all year round.
