View of Ben Venue from Loch Achray

Highlight • Lake

From this point on the western shores of Lock Achray you are afforded breathtaking views of the majestic Ben Venue peak that rises out of the mountainscape. You'll notice its steep, rocky slopes and distinctive outline that make it such a recognisable landmark in the Trossachs.

Loch Achray

Highlight • Forest

Loch Achray is a small freshwater loch between Loch Katrine and Loch Venachar. The river Achray Water feeds it and the river Black Water drains from it. Ben A'an a popular little mountain is climbed from the car park at the northern edge.
From a road cycling point of view the Duke's Pass road climbs from the western end and although the surface of the road isn't great the climb, views and loop are well worth the jarring.

Cambuskenneth Abbey Bell Tower

Highlight • Monument

Cambuskenneth Abbey was founded in about 1140 by King David I to serve Stirling Castle, which stands a short distance to the west. It was the scene of Robert the Bruce’s parliaments in 1314 and 1326, and the burial place of James III and Margaret of Denmark in the 1480s.

The abbey’s chief delight is the bell tower – there are no parallels for this structure in Scotland. It’s an excellent example of 1200s architecture, with good lancet windows and ornamental arcades.
