Walking in and around our part of Scotland

Coll and Tiree cottages are located in one of the most picturesque and accessiblle parts of Scotland: the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park and Perthshire. The area around Dyekhead where the cottages are located has an abundance of hills, mountains, lochs and glens and there are many walks on our doorstep, some easy, some moderate and some difficult! So bring your walking shoes and all weather gear for a real walking treat.

We enjoy walkiing the dogs (a Siberian Husky and a Saluki cross) up on the nearby Menteith Hills, just north of the cottages on the road to Callander. The walks here are easy and are mainly along paths through the forests. There are some lovely views towards Callander and the hills and mountains beyond.
