This walk takes you to the top of the mysterious and mythical Doon Hill, reputed to be the cradle of the fairytale world. It is here, by the way, that Reverend Kirk is said to have received the elfshot. The magic is here and legend lovers will love walking these trails. The 6.5 km hike takes 2 hours and passes near the cemetery where the Reverend is buried, before climbing through a hardwood and venturing into the forest. The place being associated with the existence of fairies, keep your eyes open and let yourself be carried away by the fairytale of the place!

You can spend a whole afternoon on the banks of this absolutely beautiful loch north of Aberfoyle (follow the A821) for a walk or a picnic. It's a time to relax and enjoy the view of the clear water reflected in the wooded hills. It was the inspiration for Walter Scott's poem, The Lady of the Lake.

A great place for families, you can walk and bike along the loch. The highlight is a cruise on an old steamboat.
