Perthshire camping and Dunkeld walks
This weekend we took away from base and took our baby camping for the first time. A new family tent and a carload of stuff later we arrived at the Blair Atholl Castle campsite and signed in. What a pleasant way to spend a weekend. We specifically wanted a family campsite so our neighbours might hopefully understand if the baby started screaming. We shouldn't have worried. He was an angel. Our biggest problem was trying to keep him out of the sun. Best weather so far this year.

A Scotland on Sunday supplement yesterday described a walk at Dunkeld going past the Dunkeld Hilton and up to King's Seat before dropping back to the Hilton and along to the river. It kept me confused for some time. The direction arrows on the map were in direct opposition to the way the path went in the description. The first part of the path was busy, but it's my guess that most people gave up and stopped at the Hilton for a cream tea or a pint in the sun as there were almost no people on the path over King's Seat.

We of course had to stop for a pint at the Hilton on the way back down.

Altogether a fantastic weekend and a chance to try out some more of our camping equipment from the shop.
