Further Information and Other Local Ideas

Just to the south of the loch you can pick up the excellent circular walk around Glen Orchy. In the glen there's a series of impressive waterfalls, streams and rivers to enjoy. The epic West Highland Way can be followed to the glen from the western side of the loch. The Tyndrum to Bridge of Orchy Walk follows a popular section south. The Bridge of Orchy to Kingshouse Walk follows the trail north to Glencoe.
To the south of here there's also the noteworthy Ben Lui National Nature Reserve where you'll find some lush mountain vegitation and wonderful views.
A little further afield there's the interesting Loch Awe and Kilchurn Castle Walk. The popular route visits the ruins of a photogenic 15th century castle which sits in a wonderful position next to the loch. Just west of the castle is the Cruachan Dam and Falls of Cruachan Waterfall Walk. In this area you can visit the Falls of Cruachan, the impressive hydroelectric dam and explore the Cruachan Power Station.

Stags at Viewpoint above Glen Orchy. Before the signs not to feed them went up. I used to take turnips and carrots, throw them and run. They were always about in the dead of winter near the road.
