I'd be really grateful for info on any nearby bouldering in the area near Aberfeldy... I'm up there for a stag weekend and it's a perfect oppertunity to get to a new area! I see from the OS / Multimap it's fairly hilly near the Tay valley... whether that means there's any bouldering there is anyone's guess!

Any info you have would be great!

If it's not a good place for bouldering I'll probs head back south early on sunday - and go MTB in the 7 stanes...

Glen Clova is up that way I believe.

Theres bouldering at Weem, on the south facing hillside a mile or so north of the town. Only been there to do the routes myself but that could be just what youre after. 
Otherwise you could try Glen Ogle, probably 45 or so to the west. Theres a good circuit to be had there.
Probably other options too within an hours drive or so, have a look at the Bouldering in Scotland guide.

It's only been out for a month or so, so not sure how far south it has filtered?

When is the trip?

ordered it off needlesports (only 2 left!)

not in the shops down here...

it's this weekend. white water rafting saturday... i intend to check out weem that day also if poss... if good i'll be there on sunday as well  ;D

i've not looked at the weather mind  :-\

no else on the trip boulders, some climb easy trad, hey ho it'ds a stag do - i'm not expecting the greatest session on earth but to be so close to an area on a rock type i've never climbed on would be criminal!!

If you can, I would chuck bike in as well just in case weather is crap, knowing Scotland. Weekend gone was great conditions though, on the rock saturday and sunday. Would suggest meeting up as I have been meaning to check it out Weem a while, but flying to font early Saturday!
