Overview

The walk starts in Killin (at car park with bus stop and public toilets), heading west up to the summit of Meall Clachach, via Sron a Chlachain, then descending into Glen Lochay. There is then a kilometre on the Glen Lochay road, short section on pavement, and just over a kilometre on quiet road/path on disused railway track. Some of the terrain is boggy or rough without any path or track.
