WALKING AND CYCLING IN THE TROSSACHS
START – Crystal Factory Shop in Crieff. The Factory being now closed and sold to the Glenturret Distillery, parking at the moment (March 2022) isn’t as easy as it used to be. A couple of spaces before the gates and some parking spaces at the Christmas Shop nearby.
More convenient to do the walk the other way round, starting at Bennybeg (parking spaces).
A must on a sunny day!
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 – Strathyre Village Shop.
Manageable ascent. A lovely viewpoint and a cool boulder to have a break on the way. Great views over Strathyre and Loch Lubnaig.
START – Glen Artney car park.
A lot of horses on the track. Managed to go past 5 or 6 but then had an additional 4 guarding the gate. Will try again as the glen looks great. Was told that the track goes for 4 miles, then there is a gate of some sorts, then 2 additional miles before coming to an end.
START – Glen Artney car park. Went to check where the start of the track was.
Will do the whole walk to Dalrannoch Farm and Water of Ruchill car park next (around 6 miles) parking a car at each end. Water of Ruchill car park here.
START – Track near Tulloch Farm in Balquhidder (30 minutes on foot from the Balquhidder Village Hall towards Monachyle Mhor). Parking spaces for 3 cars at start of the track.
Always uphill but path at the end towards the Stob a bit too boggy at present. Will come again in the summer.
Lovely views over Loch Voil.
START – North Third Trout Fishery near Cambusbarron and Stirling. Parking spaces for 4 or 5 cars next to gate. A couple of parking spaces a bit further the minor road, before the bridge.
A fantastic walk! Not that many parking spaces though.
Directions from the Walkhighlands website are very accurate, here.
START – Strathyre Forest cabins between Strathyre and Callander. Parking spaces on the left and on the right side of the bridge. Arrive early especially in the summer.
Great loop!
Useful to have directions from the Walkhighlands website (very accurate).
Lovely coffee shop at the Forest cabins.
START – Forest entrance on the road to Cambusbarron/Touch Business Centre (1/4 mile from the A811 turning). Forest entrance is on the right of the road. 3 or 4 parking spaces.
Lovely track! Track seems to stop at burn (too large to cross). Will try to walk from the other side of the burn next time.
Great views of the Forth Valley.
START – Inverlochlarig car park, at the end of Balquhidder Glen minor road.
Didn’t manage to go until the end (last burn was a bit wide to cross).
Lovely bowl of fresh air though and great scenery.
