Killearn is a great centre for motoring around the Trossachs, Loch
Katrine and particularly handy for Loch Lomond. This features Loch
Lomond Shores visitor centre, the National Park for nature walks
and cycling as well as boat trips and fishing on the loch. If romantic
Scottish castles are what you are looking for, then Buchanan Castle,
Culcreuch Castle, Doune Castle and Balloch Castle are all close
at hand. And the city of Glasgow and Stirling are both less than
half an hour away.

Loch Lomond presents the perfect holiday location, set amidst one
of Scotland’s most idyllic and unspoilt areas with the largest
expanse of fresh water in Britain and the backdrop of the mountains
looming beyond. It is also ideally situated for touring within Scotland
with The Highlands to the north of the Loch, the West Coast and
Islands a short drive away and Central Scotland, Glasgow and Edinburgh
to the east.
Loch Lomond must be the world’s most famous Loch and has
been much written about, both in song and verse. The area is renowned
for its beauty and tranquility and offers picture postcard views
around every corner. And along with the beautiful Trossachs, the
Loch Lomond area is Scotland’s first designated National Park,
known as Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park
The National Park feels worlds apart from the bustle of city life.
Yet it’s less than an hour from Glasgow and not much more
from Edinburgh.
