Location

The fault line that divides the Highlands from the Lowlands runs right across The Trossachs National Park, making this an endlessly varied part of the world - a rugged hill there, a wooded nook here. 'Trossachs' refers to the romantic area of sparkling lochs, crumpled hills, sleepy forests and welcoming villages east of Loch Lomond and west of Stirling. A fine meal by the water's edge, with snow-capped mountains in the distance and the promise of a long walk in the woods tomorrow. In Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, you'll find wild scenery, thrilling history and superb local food and drink. Option to take a cruise on the waters of Loch Lomond and admire the mighty bulk of Ben Lomond, Scotland's most southerly Munro, as well as the jagged shoulders of the Arrochar Alps. You could maybe even visit one of the loch's 30 islands. You can browse famous Scottish brands, and pick up some fine local fare. Keen anglers are in luck - there's plenty going on below the surface as well, as any fisherman will tell you. Walk from the wide-open lush landscapes of the southern section to the sprawling glens and rocky peaks in the north and you'll see why geologists love this place so much.
