WALKING AND CYCLING IN THE TROSSACHS
START – Ben Lawers first car park on the left (coming from Killin).
Lovely walk, nobody about! Track to the quarry ends but walking to Glen Lochay/Killin from there (no path) is possible. To explore in the summer.
START – Track leading to the Glen Beich dam (roughly a third of a mile before the dam). Look out for a ‘dam structure’ on the right. This is where we crossed.
Here the post how to get to the start from St Fillans.
Not suitable for bikes! To do after a dry spell because it could be boggy. Lovely to be able to link the two tracks.
Part of a great walk to do from St Fillans to Killin leaving a car at both ends (10 miles or so).
START – Rob Roy Way track between Lochan Breaclaich and Lochan a’Chaorainn near Killin. Go past Lochan Breaclaich to reach the highest point of the Rob Roy Way, then go down a very short distance and you can cross through heather towards the Glen Beich dam.
Here the post to get there from Killin.
To do after a dry spell, wasn’t too boggy today (August).
The Glen Beich dam is roughly a third of a mile away.
Part of a great walk to do from Killin to St Fillans leaving a car at both ends (10 miles or so). Might be easier to walk it from St Fillans as the Rob Roy Way is clearly visible from the ‘dam structure’.
START – Kenknock car park in Glen Lochay (small car park).
Great loop, lovely scenery and nobody around!
START – Balquhidder Station. Space for 3 cars opposite the Golden Larches Restaurant.
The Three Glens are Glen Kendrum, Gleann Dubh and Glen Dochart.
Lovely walk! For a more varied walk, it would be better to start from Glen Ogle car park, walk on the cycle track towards gate to Glen Kendrum (last picture), climb to Glen Kendrum, walk downhill towards Glen Dochart, then finish on flat surface (old railway line) to Glen Ogle. The way I did it, the last 3 hours are on flat surface. Loved the climb up to Glen Kendrum and the descent of Gleann Dubh into Glen Dochart.
Only saw sheep but I have been told by a fellow walker that you could have cows about.
You can also start this walk/mountain bike ride from Lochearnhead or Killin.
Great day!
START – Parking area for 3 cars in Ardtalnaig on the South Loch Tay Road between Killin and Kenmore. On the left just before Milton of Ardtalnaig (coming from Killin).
Beautiful scenery! Was aiming to go at least to the shooting bothy at Dunan (4 miles) but it was too hot today and too many clegs about. Will be back later in the year.
START – South Loch Tay Road in Killin. The start of the Rob Roy Way is around 1 mile from the Falls of Dochart. I parked on South Loch Tay Road on a track on the right just before the signpost to the Rob Roy Way. The minor road leading to the gate has been resurfaced since my last visit.
Beautiful track to walk on, so peaceful.
Could spot the Glen Tarken track not too far and, if I’m not mistaken, going straight from the pipeline could bring to Glen Lednock. To explore further!
START – Glen Ogle car park.
Very peaceful walk. Nobody around, just a few sheep on the track to Gleann Dubh.
This is a section of The three Glens Route (13 miles). Great place.
START – Glen Ogle car park on the A85 between Lochearnhead and Killin.
Very nice loop!
START – Cycle track in Kingshouse (after the bridge on the right from Mhor 84).
GREAT ride. A bit overgrown after Ledcharrie Farm (lots of stones).
The minor road from Killin to the hamlet of Auchlyne is lovely.
