Overview

A pleasant and quite straightforward walk through a section of Aberfoyle Forest.

A clockwise circuit via Cobleland and the River Forth near the beginning.  The route eventually follows a section of the Rob Roy Way before looping around Lochan Spling and retuning to Aberfoyle.

NOTE:  This walk is also suitable for those who do not wish to walk the full distance of 17km.  At the 10.5km mark a direct route back to Aberfoyle may be taken which will reduce the distance by 2 or 3km.
