Ben A'an

Reviewed By mellm16 - Glasgow, United Kingdom

Ben A’an is a great hike, it probably took us 1hr 30 up with a few stops and similar back down. It has quite a steep incline so bear that in mind, however the views at the summit are spectacular! Definitely worth a visit. Note** if parking make sure to get there early as on weekends it gets very busy after 9:30am and nowhere to park on the roads. Also bring midgy repellent it was full of them!

Loch Katrine

Welcome to Loch Katrine - one of Scotland's special places. Just as special as the magnificent scenery is the famous steamship "Sir Walter Scott" which itself has been a landmark in The Trossachs for over a hundred years. Your visit is not complete without a cruise on this wonderful ship, or on "Lady of the Lake", the perfect way to experience the beauty of Loch Katrine. Perhaps you'll just want to relax with a coffee or a meal in the Brenachoile Cafe Bar, shop for a souvenir and take a stroll by the shore, or bring the family for a cycle trip?

We had booked the Loch Katrine cruise with afternoon tea afterwards in the Steamship Cafe. From start to finish everyone was warm and welcoming from the lady who took our booking , to Captain Steph and Debbie on board the Lady of the Lake to the lovely lady who served us our afternoon tea. It was such a peaceful day on the loch and the scenery was just stunning with the sunshine peeping through on occasions and skimming the snow top hills. Would highly recommend this trip

Loch Lomond Bird of Prey Centre

Loch Lomond Bird of Prey Centre is located in a natural woodland which retains much of the original woodland and streams to provide the ideal natural setting for nearly 40 Birds of Prey & Owls. The centre is home to over 20 Owls, representing every native species as well as unique or unusual species from other parts of the world. See "Orla", and "Scout" our two magnificent female Golden Eagles. See a selection of hawks and owls fly during our daily flying shows in the flying area. Hear how these magnificent creatures have evolved to become the success predators they are, and how they live on the edge of survival every day. During current Covid restrictions we limit the number of visitors on site at any one time (currently 60). There are hand sanitisers located within the centre. We request everyone to abide by the social distancing guidelines.

I spent the morning with Stewart and Kevin on a hunting experience with the beautiful Inca the Harris Hawk. I had such a lovely morning with them, walking the fields overlooking Loch Lomond in the search of pheasants for Inca. After the experience we stayed for the flying display which was one of the best I’ve ever been to, Stewart and Kevin have so much passion for their birds, their knowledge and love really shows, which made the display so much more enjoyable. As others have mentioned, the centre is small, but if you rush around things then yes it’ll take 10 minutes but if you’re interested in the birds and take your time you could be there for hours! Thank you to the whole team at the Loch Lomond Bird of Prey Centre!

Spectacular views of the falls and Bridge, and good paths and roads make a relatively easy walk. Well worth a couple of hours.

Falls of Falloch

Reviewed By peterdK9884CV - Southampton, United Kingdom

A stunning little waterfall that is a short walk from the car park just off the main road. We stopped off on a journey up North. The only downside was the car park is small and there is nowhere to go if there are no spaces on busy Summer days, but if able to park it is a 5 minute walk to the area where you can view the falls. You can see the falls from various angles, including clambering down onto some rocks or a much more accessible walk way which goes right up to them.

Luss Pier

Reviewed By marianb813 - Bratislava, Slovakia

its a small village, located on the shores of lake. From first sight it seems as a touristic place, where you can create best ever pictures about paradise. Sure it depends on weather, but we were lucky. Shops, restaurants, bars, pier, walks, beautiful panoramas and friendly people that all makes this place unique. Houses made from stones and rocks. There are parkings in the village for tourists so no worries, where to park a car.

Three Lochs Forest Drive

Reviewed By LynUK

What a beautiful way to spend a day. This drive is well worth it - beautiful scenery and plenty of opportunities to park up and get out and walk. A short enough drive to not need any refreshments which is good as there is nowhere to get anything but it could be long enough to pack a picnic and find somewhere to take a break.

After being let loose from stay at home regulations, we drove up to loch lubnaig and parked at the picnic area where it was very quiet. Had a wee picnic with us which we consumed whilst watching the world go by. We managed to get some lovely sunny weather but really cold wind and intermittent snow showers but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves
