There is a small caveat, the segment of costal walkway can only be traversed on a low tide (Unless you are [Moses](https://i.pinimg.com/474x/e5/fb/3e/e5fb3eb00e8a5c2566f571fdde2e0385.jpg)). The annoying part was that there was a relatively high tide which we didn't notice blocking parts of the path. The worst case scenario would be to walk back to the start of the costal path and walk along side the road to city centre. The picture above reflects one of the deviated paths we could have taken but unfortunately private property had fenced out path way from the public from using it (This was a bit frustrating). When walking through the partially blocked pathway a nice view of the sea could be captured. diff --git a/content/hiking/kilin.md b/content/hiking/kilin.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..b378278e --- /dev/null +++ b/content/hiking/kilin.md @@ -0,0 +1,50 @@ +--- +title: "Killin" +summary: Really cute public transport for the last stretch and great view of the highlands +tags: ["hiking","good weather","highlands","Perthshire"] +author: "Akilan Selvacoumar" +draft: false +aliases: [/PersonalPublicTransport] +weight: 3 +--- + +## Key Picture +![](https://photos.akilan.io/api/assets/6495891f-8dc6-4798-b900-02ad670d7e2e/thumbnail?size=preview&key=_q41093B16xTMIRZ_0lIS4uarrWcg5TDB0qGW8yXA3qcxh4--dmBMemG5_oNEm0Y4Rs&c=VJBWP152EfRwvwySXx4qQFiVSDQ%3D) + +A random stream of water which my flatmate is tempted to row in.
