Flat pathes with some hilly parts and some short accents, mostly along cycling routes and countryroads.

Individual arrival to Callander.

Cycling alongside Loch Venachar with the hills on either side sparkling in the loch. We are making our way to Loch Katrine, a beautiful remote loch where you can take a ride on a steamer boat which was built in 1872. A tarmac private cycle way also runs alongside the loch giving spectacular views across the loch and the mountains.

Cycling southwards to the ancient village of Doune with their famous Castle. Stop and explore before continuing onto Dunblane with it’s great Cathedral. The circular trip takes you back to Callander along the Highland fault line.

Today we follow the National Cycle Network north alongside Loch Lubnaig towards Balquihidder, where you will find a small church, where Rob Roy McGregor is buried. From here we continue over the gentle climb of Glen Ogle before descending to Killin. The waterfall here is really spectacular and many people sit on the rocks and watch the cascading waters pass by.

Alongside Loch Tay which is around 27 km long to Kenmore and a visit to the Scottish Crannog Centre which shows life on the Loch during the bronze age. Onto Fortingall a conservation village dating back many hundreds of years. Europe’s oldest living thing can be found here in the form of a Yew Tree. After your visit carry along the Valley to Aberfeldy passing the famous Castle Menzies.

Today you have a short and longer option. Before setting off, visit the whisky distillery. Both routes start along the River Tay valley when the short route turns north to Pitlochry. The longer route firsts heads south to the historic village of Dunkeld dating back to the 1700’s. After your visit you head north to Pitlochry.

Here is much to see and do, two whisky distilleries to visit one the world’s smallest. The Fish and Dam Ladder allowing salmon to jump the dam wall. Many shops to visit along with many pubs and bars. For those, who wish to cycle it’s worth the short trip to Blair Castle one of Scotland’s grand castles and home of the Duke of Athol family. Follow this turbulent history as you walk from room to room. Then you can cycle a wonderful loop through Perthshire countryside via Loch Tummel with maybe a visit to the Killiecrankie visitor centre.

Individual departure or extended stay.
