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 Lubnaig

Reviewed By ch00chter - Buchlyvie, United Kingdom

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

Loch Ard

Reviewed By ps_pause - Killearn, United Kingdom

Situated just beyond Aberfoyle this is a lovely loch to drive along and then drive back or stop at either end in the Forestry Commission carparks and explore on foot.

Loch Venachar

Reviewed By Ferguson-Lamb - Glasgow, United Kingdom

We went wild camping on loch venachar and had a wonderful time. We got a camping permit (only costing £3) for campsite B, which you need to camp on Loch Lomond and Trossachs camping management zones. It was a great campsite, wonderful view of loch, and has a car park next to the campsite which was extremely convenient. The campsite itself has several spots under trees so you are quite sheltered even if it begins to rain, but still have a lovely view of the loch. There are lots of walks nearby, and some lovely restaurants that are dog friendly. If you’re looking for a wild camping spot I would highly recommend as it’s a great site, much quieter and less touristy than Loch Lomond can be. We took our kayak out on the loch, which was easy to do, as the car park as easy access to the waters edge. Definitely worth a visit and we will 100% be back!
