Glen Finglas Play Trail
At Glen Finglas in The Trossachs, there are many fine trails. However, if your children are not as fond of walking as you are, the Play Trail will probably be your best excuse to get all of the family out on a rewarding and fun walk. This is one of our series of guides with ideas of activities for children, that all the family will enjoy on a trip to Loch Lomond & The Trossachs.
How to get to GLEN FINGLAS
The Play Trail at Glen Finglas is just 5 miles west from Callander; it’s not far from Loch Katrine, so easy to combine. Look out for signs for Lendrick Hill and park in the free car park. Glen Finglas is on The Trossachs Trail, a 40-mile trail around beautiful scenery.

THE VISITOR CENTRE AT GLEN FINGLAS
Glen Finglas, managed by The Woodland Trust, features a visitor centre (open April to October) with a toilet, free wi-fi, information and AV presentations. Over many visits, I have always found the staff to be friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming.
There is an opportunity to record sightings of specific plants, flowers, birds, and animals you have seen on your walk to help others know what you can spot. Alternatively, children can draw and colour what they have seen.
Before leaving the centre for your walk, remember to pick up a free guide and quiz.

The Play Trail
The trail features several sculptures and interactive activities for children to enjoy; it will take you around 40 minutes to walk around. Take care though crossing the main road, which cuts through the trail. Here are a few photographs from the trail.
