VisitScotland - Loch Lomond and The Trossachs and The Forth Valley Brochure

The VisitScotland - Loch Lomond and The Trossachs and The Forth Valley brochure introduces a region at the heart of central Scotland, where rolling hills meet small villages, mountain peaks tower above the National Park, and historic battles were fought with pride. The Lowlands provide a gateway to the Highlands, while Stirling sits perfectly positioned between Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Stirling and the Wee County

Stirling is Scotland's newest city and blends modernity with history. Its castle stands high above the cobbled streets of the old town, a symbol of the independence of the nation. East of the city lies Clackmannanshire, the country's smallest county and a true picture postcard destination brimming with art and culture in its small towns and villages.

  • The Ochil Hills attract walkers who enjoy a steady ascent
  • Dollar Glen's woodland trails lead to Castle Campbell, an imposing 15th Century ruin once the seat of a powerful Highland chief
