Plan a trip to The Trossachs

The beauty of the Trossachs inspired writers such as Sir Walter Scott to write poems and stories that put this part of Scotland on the map. Scott's 1810 poem 'The Lady of the Lake' is celebrated today by Loch Katrine's passenger steamship 'Sir Walters Scott' and cruiser 'Lady of the Lake'.

As well as Scott today’s visitors to the Trossachs are also walking in the footsteps of Mary Queen of Scots, Rob Roy MacGregor, Robert The Bruce, Dorothy Wordsworth, Jules Verne and Queen Victoria who have all added to the rich history of the Trossachs.

As well as history the Trossachs is an area of outstanding beauty, much of which is preserved as part of the Great Trossachs Forest. Browse our guides for some of the best places and experiences to be found in the Trossachs.
