A good viewpoint from above, fairly obvious as it is signposted and there is a wooden platform. The trees are over growing so to really see the Linn, it is better to follow some of the rough paths along the riverside below.

Bustling little town, with several trails, the riverside path, and cafes. Parking near the river too to start a walk.

Well, you've got limited choices to cross the River Ericht so you might as well stop for a photo. There are many shops and refreshment outlets in Blairgowrie so it's worth planning a break and refuel here.

View and seating area looking southeast over Blairgowrie; a good place for a rest and photos. Access from the north via a wide circa 200m grass path from the excellent asphalt road up from Blairgowrie. To the southeast, there's a dirt and gravel track down into north Blairgowrie. An alternative dirt path to the east through Knockie Wood from the asphalt road is also available.
