Itinerary

1. The Scottish Wool Centre
At the Scottish Wool Centre in the small village of Aberfoyle, in the shadow of Craigmore, you can discover the story of Scottish Wool. You can visit the Spinner's Cottage and try your hand at making wool into yarn in the traditional way. We will get you to the Wool Centre for 11:00am, in time to see The Gathering dog and duck show, where the shepherd will demonstrate the use of a Scottish sheep dog and delve into the history of sheep farming. (April to September) You can also wander around the outside paddocks where there are rare breeds of sheep and goats. There is also a large retail area with something for everyone, from cashmere, Harris Tweed, country and casual wear to Scottish gifts and a large range of whisky.
Duration: 30 mins
2. Aberfoyle
Foraging walk with professional forager and herbalist Rox Madeira. A unique opportunity to go on an easy walking route with a renowned forager, to discover the hidden gems of the Scottish countryside: Wild Food and Wild Medicine. A different way to connect with Scotland, its history and culture, learning plant folklore, history of plant use in Scotland and current usage.
Duration: 50 mins
3. The Steamship Sir Walter Scott Ltd.
We will take you to the Trossachs Pier, Loch Katrine, where you have the option to take a cruise in the 124-year-old Steamship Sir Walter Scott. The cruise staff will bring to life the stories of Sir Walter Scott, Rob Roy MacGregor, the building of Glasgow’s water supply infrastructure, the natural wonders of the loch and more. If you prefer not to do the cruise and explore the area instead, you can climb the footpath to a stunning new scenic tower and lookouts at the Rhoderick Dhu watchtower site, immediately above Trossachs Pier. In the 1700s, this elevated site was used by clansmen to warn Loch Katrine-born outlaw and Clan Chief Rob Roy MacGregor of advancing Redcoats seeking his capture. In the late 1700s, two wicker huts were built here for writers, poets and artists to stay and be inspired by the outstanding panoramic views which is why the site is credited with being where Scottish tourism began! Cruise only available from 29th March to 26th October 2025.
Duration: 90 mins
4. Three Lochs Forest Drive
This stunning route, often referred to as 'The Highlands in Miniature', is a 7 mile long forest drive that will take us past three picturesque lochs – Lochan Reòidhte, Loch Drunkie and Loch Achray. The route was launched 40 years ago in 1977 to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. You can enjoy the the breathtaking Trossachs scenery, and watch out for woodland and watery wildlife. Glimpse deer amongst the trees, listen for the chatter of woodland birds and red squirrels and – if you're lucky – spot an osprey fishing on one of the lochs. At the end of the drive, we will stop over at the eco Achray Farm, where you can buy artisanal goats milk ice cream made daily with foraged ingredients. You can also learn about the goats you will see roaming freely or their extremely cuddly Shetland cows.
Duration: 20 mins
5. Kilmahog
Meet and feed our famous Highland Cows! Honey, Dubh and Baxter are 3 'Hairy Coos' waiting for you to give them some snacks (potatoes and carrots), which they love!
Duration: 15 mins
6. The Kelpies & The Helix
Standing at 100ft tall and weighing more than 300 tonnes each, the magical Kelpies are a man-made wonder and a feat of engineering. They are the largest equine sculptures in the world, and pay homage to Scottish folklore and the local mining tradition heritage.
