Loch Katrine

This is the heart of the Trossachs - take your camera!

From around May to October the 100 year old steamship 'Sir Walter Scott' and a smaller cruise ship 'Ellen's Isle' offer a variety of cruises on the loch. In winter the smaller ship offers a more restricted service. Tel 01877 376 316 for details.

At the Trossachs Pier there is also a restaurant and souvenir shop (and toilets).

A car-free tarmac road follows the north shore of the loch to Stronachlacher. This peaceful road provides a pleasant walk and for the more adventurous, bikes can be hired at the pier to make the most of your day.

To get there

Drive through Callander to Kilmahog and turn left onto the Trossachs road. Enjoy the scenery as you travel alongside Loch Venachar, through Brig o' Turk and past Loch Achray before turning right to go through the narrow pass of the Trossachs to reach the pier car park.
