Loch Earn, a picturesque freshwater loch in Scotland's Stirling council area, spans about 17 kilometres. Nestled in the scenic Trossachs region, it is a popular destination for water sports and fishing, you'll find a good stock of Rainbow and Brown Trout.

The loch has an unusual "tidal" system, called a Seiche. This is caused by the prevailing winds blowing wind down the valley, resulting in a build up of water at one end of the Loch. Other lakes, such as the much larger Lake Geneva, and Lake Garda also are homes to this phenomena.

Old Railway Tunnel on Lochearnhead to St. Fillans Path

Highlight • Historical Site

This path follows the former railway line, from Lochearnhead to St. Fillans. The path is a mellow one, winding through grassy terrain, with old railway bridges and embankments dotted along the way. Covering just over 11km, the walk also includes peaceful sections through Derry Wood and Glentarken Wood. You'll be treated to lovely views of the surrounding hills and the stunning Loch Earn. And in St. Fillans, be sure to explore the historic railway station buildings.
