West from Callander on the A84, past the  The Lade Inn  for about 15 miles via Strathyre and Lochearnhead. Proceed up GlenOgle and after the road levels out and starts to drop, watch out for a picnic area on the right. Park there and walk along the track to see the best view of Ben Lawers - nearly 4000ft of it. Note the memorial to the RAF pilots on your right.
Limited car park area. Seasonal snackbar . No Toilets.

 

Falls of Leny

From Callander, drive west through Kilmahog towards Strathyre leny_falls.JPG (8244 bytes)and the Falls and carpark are sign posted about a mile after Kilmahog. Take care crossing as the carpark is on a bad corner. Parts of the footpath by the river are in need of repair so watch your feet!

At one time this pass was one of the main routes into the Highlands (and still is). If you imagine yourself as a Roman Legionaire in a foreign and hostile land you can well understand why the Romans stopped at Kilmahog and ventured no further!
