GlenOgle and Killin

Glen Ogle is a dramatic highland pass leading from Lochearnhead to GlenDochart. Queen Victoria called it 'Scotland's Kyber Pass'. The modern road, an old military road, the GlenOgle burn and the trackbed of the Callander - Oban railway line (now a cycle/walkway) all pass through this narrow and beautiful glen. Try parking at the top and take a walk down the cycleway to the railway viaduct to get the best views.

Killin, at the west end of Loch Tay, is the home of the Clan McNab. The McNab burial ground is on an island in the river Dochart just below the beautiful old arched bridge. The bridge is also the best place for that unforgetable photo of the Falls of Dochart.

A little way beyond Killin is the Ben Lawers mountain range and visitor centre - a favourite starting place at 1400 feet for a days walking in the mountains.

To get there

Take the A84 through Callander and head north. GlenOgle is just beyond Lochearnhead. After GlenOgle, continue to the bottom of the long descent at Lix Toll and turn right to reach Killin in about 2 miles.
