There are plenty of places to take in the stunning views. Sandwiched in between two sections of regular road-side cycle path, this segment is a gem.

Kerr’s Folly Statue (Wee Peter), Bandry Bay

Highlight • Lake

This statue in Bandry Bay, just south of Luss, is called ‘Wee Peter’, a name which was conferred in recent times for reasons unknown. Most people think it is a memorial to a boy who drowned here. In fact, no such sad story is the case. The statue was made by William Kerr for a house in London he had been commissioned to build. While he worked successfully in London during the 1870s and 80s, his childhood was spent in Luss. When the statue was found to be ‘surplus to requirements’, Kerr brought it to the place where he had spent many happy hours as a child. Few people, if any, expected it to remain standing for long and it became known as ‘Kerr’s Folly’. Erected in 1890, it stands firm today, 121 years later, proving it wasn’t in the least ill advised.

Glen Fruin Road

Highlight • Climb

The secret to enjoying the fabulous views from the top of Glen Fruin is to pace yourself up the climb. The lower slopes are forgiving, however there is a wee sting in the tail for those who go too hard early on! Whatever your condition when you reach the top, pause to enjoy amazing views.
