Overview

This is a  walk through woods on the North side of Loch Katrine, offering stunning views of The Loch and Ben Venue, passing filming locations for Outlander.

Starting from Loch Katrine car park, we follow the shoreline then head uphill for a while, we will take this section very slowly, stopping as often as necessary.

After that the path levels out across moorland ending with a descent back to the shoreline, where we follow the road back to the car park.
