Having climbed Ben Venue And Ben A'an I decided to pay
more attention to Loch Katrine as the views of the Loch
from these places are quite stunning.On the A821 at the
sharp bend at the head of Loch Achray there is a road
about one mile long to Loch Katrine. At the Trossachs
Pier Car Park (small fee required), there is a Tearoom,
Souvenir Shop and Bike Hire.
A good walk is to take the S.S. Sir Walter Scott to Stronachlachar
and walk back to the Trossachs Pier Car Park (about 11
miles). If hiring a bike check with the booking office
before committing yourself as the space on board is limited.
On a general rule the Sir Walter Scott calls into Stronachlachar
in the Morning and does a circular tour in the afternoon
missing out Stronachlachar.
