Introducing The Trossachs
The Trossachs has been a major tourist draw since the early 19th century when Sir Walter Scott’s historical novel Rob Roy brought eager visitors to the region. In the 21st century its natural beauty, variety of wildlife and fragile environment have been recognised with the establishment of the Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park.

The narrow glen between Loch Katrine and Loch Achray is actually named the Trossachs, but the term is now used to describe a wider scenic area around the southern border of the Highlands.
