Rugged forest in a sheltered glen

Strathyre's name comes from the Gaelic Strath Cor, interpreted as 'broad winding valley'. You can explore this quiet wooded glen from the car park and picnic site in the village. Alternatively, head for the southern end of tranquil Loch Lubnaig to find trails at Ben Ledi and the Strathyre Cabins.

This area is steeped in history. There are many stories, especially of Rob Roy MacGregor, the notorious 18th century outlaw and local legend. Visit his grave at the peaceful kirkyard at Balquhidder.
