Edinburgh to Aberfeldy - 74 miles
Set off at 7.25am and reached the Forth Bridges without mishap. Then up through Dunfermline (birth place of Andrew Carnagie and final resting place of Robert the Bruce, King of Scots. Or most of him. A little bit might be at Melrose Abbey). It was then a climb up to Knockhill Racing circuit before the drop down to Rumbling Bridge (although there wasn't a lot of rumbling, due to the River Devon being low as a result of the unseasonably dry weather). Continued north, passing through Glen Devon and Glen Eagles before arriving at Auchterarder (the 'lang toon'). The final few miles took me through the Sma Glen and by Amulree to Aberfeldy.
Wildlife: 2 roe deer; few buzzards; oystercatchers; ringed ouzel (Sma Glen) and a red squirrel (crossing road in Auchterarder).
74 miles. That's fine. Couldn't keep the smile off my face all day, sums things up nicely.
