Terrain:

The terrain of the Glen Ogle Trail in Stirlingshire/Perthshire is predominantly a well-surfaced track (compacted stone/gravel) as it follows an old railway line. It has a generally steady, but noticeable, gradient as it climbs through the glen from either end towards the summit of the pass. Suitable for walkers and cyclists with a reasonable level of fitness. The trail is very exposed to the weather, which can change rapidly in the Scottish mountains. This Stirlingshire/Perthshire trail has good surfaces but is a mountain pass route, so go prepared.

Dog Notes:

The Glen Ogle Trail in Stirlingshire/Perthshire is suitable for energetic dogs that are used to longer walks in potentially exposed conditions. Dogs should be kept under control, especially as cyclists also use the trail (often at speed on descents). Be mindful of sheep grazing on adjacent hillsides if paths lead off the main trail, and keep dogs on leads if livestock are nearby. There are steep drops from the viaducts and some path edges – ensure dogs are kept safe. Please clean up after your dog. Remember to bring water for your dog, as natural sources may be limited or not easily accessible on the higher sections of this Stirlingshire/Perthshire trail.
