Strone Hill

Quiet riverside trails in oak and birch woodland

Stop off at this natural resting place, where for centuries cattle drovers and other travellers along Glen Orchy have paused for a moment. The high riverside trail passes through oak, birch and rowan woodland that provides brilliant colour in spring and autumn and welcome shade for summer picnics.

The riverbank route has viewpoints over the riverside waterfalls, which are particularly dramatic when the river is in spate.
