Loch Venachar & the Trossachs
About
Our tour today takes us via Gretna to Callander a bustling town near Stirling, and is often described as the gateway to the Highlands and is an ideal base for exploring the Trossachs National Park.Our journey continues along Loch Venachar which is located in the heart of the Trossachs region, between the towns of Callander and Brig o’ Turk. Loch Venachar is a freshwater loch and stretches approximately 6 kilometres (3.7 miles) in length, with a maximum depth of around 33 metres (108 ft).
The loch receives water from Loch Achray to the west, while its eastern end feeds the River Leny. The surrounding Trossachs region is rich in wildlife, with deer, red squirrels, and various bird species commonly spotted in the area.
With its picturesque landscapes and wealth of outdoor activities, Loch Venachar truly is at the centre of the Trossachs region, providing a remarkable destination for visitors seeking to experience the natural beauty of Scotland.
Our final destination is Aberfoyle. This small but important village lies in one of Europe's most beautiful locations at the southern edge of the West Highland Fault, and lying inside the Lomond & Trossachs National Park. The village is an important gateway to the Trossachs and has something for everyone.
