This walk is an excellent introduction to the Scottish Highlands. A gentle elevation with ever changing views over the hills and a first sense of the wide, expansive landscapes Scotland has to offer.
The peak of Conic Hill (361m) marks the spectacular geological Highland fault line and offers panoramic views as far as the coast, the Isle of Arran and the Highland mountains.

The Trossachs, Loch Katrine and the shores of Loch Lomond
- See the beautiful 'Trossachs' Forests of Rob Roy
- Sail on the elegant Victorian steamship 'SS Walter Scott'
- Walk in Loch Lomond's romantic and rugged wild country
The lush and dense Trossachs forests, dotted with picturesque lakes, were the home of Scotland's famous Rob Roy who roamed the area to steal from the rich and provide for the poor. Loch Katrine, the biggest of the Trossachs lakes, is set amidst rugged hills and features as the romantic backdrop in Walter Scott's 19th century legends and poems.
The day begins with a drive through this beautiful area to Loch Katrine where you board the romantic 19th century steamship Sir Walter Scott. Following the 45 minutes sailing within the rugged, picturesque hills of the Highlands to the northern end of the lake is a brief journey to Loch Lomond.
The highlight of the day is a 3 hour hike along the shore past 'Rob Roy's Cave' enjoying magnificent views across the water to the peaks of the southern Highland mountains.

An invigorating and satisfying walk covering a hight of 500m. You will want to come back for those peaks next time!

Loch Lomond - Waterfalls, Wild Goats, Kilts in Glen Falloch
- Spot some feral goats and ancient ruins in wild country
- Catch a boat for a dram in one of Scotland's oldest pubs
This delightful and gentle walk along an old cattle drovers' path takes you past the great Ben Glass waterfall to the rugged hills of Loch Lomond's northern end. Wild goats are roaming these lovely forests of birch-, oak- and hazel trees and ruins of old settlements point to a lively history of the area. There are grand views, particularly when Loch Lomond appears like a discovery. Once at the shore we signal the ferryman who is to rescue us back to civilization.
You benefit from a drive along the complete length of Loch Lomond's western shore and you have the opportunity to enjoy a pint or a wee dram in one of Scotland's oldest and most popular pubs, the Drover's Inn. Here the sight of a Highlander dressed in a kilt is guaranteed!

Taking the low road in the Arrochar Alps' Glen Loin
- Wilderness galore! Explore a fine wide, lonely Scottish valley
This is a low level walk in true wild of Scotland and great for exploring and admiring the Arrochar mountains without actually having to climb them. If you can't resist just a small climb there is Loch Sloy worth the extra little effort.
