1. Ben A'an

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!
2. Bracklinn Falls Bridge and Callander Crags

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

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
4. Loch Venachar

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!

6. Samson's Putting Stone

It is not a glacial erratic, there is an almost identical stone some 25 miles away at Crieff, (mica schist on conglomerate) which is at the centre of 29 ancient sites and has a carved footprint and water basin on top. Both stones are on top of the Highland Boundary Fault and both are 350 yards away from vitrified forts. The forts themselves are on top of the HBF.
