| Dunkeld Town and Cathedral |
I left Pitlochry and headed down the A9 to Dunkeld. It was a stunning town with a picturesque town centre and beautiful cathedral, with wonderful views of the River Tay.

| Pitlochry Resevoir |
From here I headed to Perth... which to be honest, is not that attractive. I had a choice encounter with a local resident who limited his directions to the one word response of "Aye!" in a deep and gravely voice, which was quite amusing, if not particulary helpful!
I took the A912 towards Glenfarg, before taking the B996 which proved to be a solid uphill struggle with no payback at all. I climbed and climbed all the way to Kinross where I should have been staying, however, as it was still fairly early I decided to push on to go south of the bridge.

| Forth Bridge |
I passed glorious views of Loch Leven, down to Kelty and on to Inverkeithing. The last five miles were a glorious downhill stretch to the Forth Road Bridge. This was every bit as beautiful as I remembered it, although I had never cycled across it before. The views were simply breathtaking.  |
| Campsite at Kirkliston |
I've really struggled with my knees today, which must be something to do with either my saddle or my cleats. So I'll have to watch that tomorrow and try and sort it out.
From here I headed to Kirkliston. I'm just outside Edinburgh and the campsite is high up offering views over the city. It is a stunning campsite as it is set in densely packed Pine forest which I love. The trees are so dense you can't hear a thing.
