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!

Scottish Real Ale Shop

A unique place in Callander situated in the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park selling over 130 different Scottish Beers by over 30 micro breweries from the Shetlands to the Borders. The largest selection of Scottish Real Ales under one roof.Our passion for Real Ale has long been established at the Lade Inn with our own exclusive house ales, but we wanted to take it one step further and become the central hub for all Scottish Bottled Ales. To make this dream a reality, we converted our old Microbrewery and the Scottish Real Ale Shop opened its doors for the first time in December 2006. We are a one stop shop for Scottish beer, Real Ale Festivals and brewing information; a place where you can purchase that elusive bottle from the Hebrides or that delicious blonde from Islay. We hold a Beer Festival every year and have tastings throughout the summer weekends so you can try before you buy!

Ordered a case of 12 different beers for delivery and am very happy with them, will certainly use this shop again. Hopefully will be able to get in and sample the restaurant on our next visit to Strathyre once lockdown is over!

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

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 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!
