The Trossachs Heartland's walk


Picture from the shores of Loch Vennacher by Callander

I have had the wish to develop a walking route that takes the walker through the Heart of the Trossachs for some years. I have now got my act together and the information together and have developed a route description. It is a self guided route which can be started from three places on the southern approaches to Loch Lomond, Milngavie, Balloch and Drymen and then makes it's way by the West Highland Way or the South Loch Lomond Way to Inverbeg and a ferry to Rowerdennan. Then across Ben Lomond to Kinlochard. Over BenVenue to Loch's Achray and/or Katrine where a choice has to be made about continuing through Brig O' Turk, Balquhidder, Glen Dochart on to Killin. Or along Loch Achray to Callander and through Glen Artney to Comrie and Glen Lednoch to Loch Tay and Killin. The route length varies depending on the option chosen. The walker can expect to take 6 or 10 days again dependent on the options taken.
I have prepared a route outline that can be sent out to those interested in completing the walk. A more detailed route description will be available as will information on accommodation and other support services. If you are interested please contact bike and hike services through colin@bikeandhike.co.uk or by phone on 0044 (0) 1877339788
