A very short walk at Gleneagles for Rudy. Sometimes the mood is there for big adventures and sometimes a quick look-around and back on the train home for dinner is The Best Day Ever!
Gleneagles is probably mostly famous for it’s golf courses so we crossed the A9 road and walked a little along Station Road through the middle of all of the golfing.
Warning Golf Course Beware Flying Golf Balls
Golf Course
Rudy was still nursing a torn carpal pad when we visited Gleneagles so was on restricted exercise. We’re fairly (like 100%) certain that he wouldn’t have been allowed off lead to run around the fancy golf course anyway but look how hopefully he was!
Such a good dog.
We had originally planned to walk along far enough to see the Gleneagles Hotel because it tied in with our railway theme having been built for the Caledonian Railway. It would’ve been a half hour walk there along more of the same boring golf course road and an even more boring lot of car parking then the same to return. On the day we just weren’t in the mood to go so far and risk having to wait a long, long time to cross back to the station. So we just took a short walk along part of Station Road and then the official picnic back at the railway station itself 🙂
The busy A9 road separates Gleneagles Station from the hotel and the village itself. There are marked crossing points but it’s not a very pedestrian friendly route to walk 🙁
