Tips from the Community
Coming from Crieff you can stay this side of the bridge (i.e. without crossing the bridge) and take a left turn to head towards Trinity Gask for a shorter circuit of 19m or so. The Trinity Gask Road may be closed due to water board works but passable by bike (not car). If you cross the Earn at Kinkell bridge you’re in for a longer cycle if you turn left or a shorter one (via Muthill) if you turn right. The Muthill road’s more of a main road so busier.

Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention of the human spirit of discovery, the origins of which can be traced back to times long past. Thanks to such a construction, human or animal muscle power could be easily replaced by the power of the natural elements through a watercourse - natural or artificially created - in order to grind grain into corn or press oil from fruit, for example. There are essentially two different ways of driving watermills: * Either the flowing water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or * the water is guided above the wheel - usually through a so-called "mill channel" - and falls onto the blades; this type of construction is more efficient due to natural gravity.
