The best cycling routes around Muirhead, Birkhill And Liff

A great collection of Pictish stones with some really informative displays.

Kingoodie is a small settlement on the north bank of the Firth of Tay. The village was once an important harbour for the nearby quarries. NCN77 follows the coastal road here. This route is known as the Salmon Run, starting at Tay Bridge, Dundee and riding inland up the Tay to Pitlochry.

It wasnt a Mountain Bike , it was a hybrid, A Carerra Crossfire 2. It is a good route despite two stars. From Rosemill to Dronley that is usually the enjoyable bit for me, although its gettinv quite overgrown now with Hogweed, some of the track has been impacted by the winter flooding and there are worn channels on the path. other than that i quite enjoy the route. i was away to do the next stretch beyond the Dronley Car Park, but too much hogweed groeing across the gravel track, i turned aboot and went back onto the road taking me to Birkhill. it was a nice night, pretty windy, thankfully going up the Dronley Road It was sheltered. It was good to get out though, Just what the doctor ordered (and Ive not been to the Doctors, figure of speech 🤣) 👍

Really excellent fine-gravel core paths throughout this seemingly well-kept wood. There's a small car park at the southern edge if required.

For Trail MTB explorers on an adventure. A selection of dirt tracks and paths through and around this community wood. There's a free car park at the northwest corner with an information board. After rain, there's plenty of mud for entertainment. If required, there's easy access south and west to the excellent path on the former Dundee and Newtyle Railway track.

Excellent fine-gravel core paths just great for zooming around. A very nice wood and a pleasant riding experience. There's a small car park at the southern edge.

The Meigle Sculptured Stone Museum is a permanent exhibition of 27 carved Pictish stones in the centre of the village of Meigle in eastern Scotland. It lies on the A94 road running from Coupar Angus to Forfar. The museum occupies the former parish school, built 1844. The collection of stones implies that an important church was located nearby, or perhaps a monastery. There is an early historical record of the work of Thana, son of Dudabrach, who was at Meigle (recorded as Migdele) in the middle of the 9th century during the reign of King Pherath. Thana was likely to have been a monk serving as a scribe in a local monastery that could have been founded in the 8th century. The stones contained in the museum were all found near Meigle, mostly in the neighbouring churchyard or used in the construction of the old church. The present church building dates to about 1870, the previous building having been destroyed in a fire on 28 March 1869. The stones were rescued by William Galloway immediately after the fire. The stones are Christian monuments to the dead of the Pictish warrior aristocracy, who are depicted on the stones bearing their weapons or hunting. The museum The museum building was originally the village schoolhouse. The building was purchased by the local laird Sir George Kinloch towards the end of the 19th century in order to protect the symbol stones. In 1936 the museum passed into the ownership of the State, it was renovated after the Second World War and reopened to the public in 1949. The building is Category C listed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meigle_Sculptured_Stone_Museum
