- The Scottish Wool Centre - Nestled in the quaint village of Aberfoyle, beneath the towering Craigmore, the Scottish Wool Centre invites you to explore the rich history of Scottish wool.

This unique experience offers an easy walking route with a renowned forager, uncovering the hidden treasures of the Scottish countryside: Wild Food and Wild Medicine. It’s a distinctive way to connect with Scotland, its history, and culture, while learning about plant folklore, historical plant use in Scotland, and modern applications.
- The Steamship Sir Walter Scott Ltd. - Journey to the Trossachs Pier at Loch Katrine, where you can choose to cruise aboard the 124-year-old Steamship Sir Walter Scott. The cruise staff will bring to life the tales of Sir Walter Scott, Rob Roy MacGregor, the construction of Glasgow’s water supply, the natural beauty of the loch, and more.
If cruising isn’t your preference, explore the area by climbing the footpath to a breathtaking new scenic tower and lookouts at the Rhoderick Dhu watchtower site, just above Trossachs Pier. In the 1700s, this elevated spot was used by clansmen to alert Loch Katrine-born outlaw and Clan Chief Rob Roy MacGregor of approaching Redcoats. In the late 1700s, two wicker huts were constructed here for writers, poets, and artists to draw inspiration from the stunning panoramic views, marking the site as the birthplace of Scottish tourism!
Cruises are available from 29th March to 26th October 2025.
- Three Lochs Forest Drive - Known as ‘The Highlands in Miniature’, this picturesque 7-mile forest drive passes by three beautiful lochs – Lochan Reòidhte, Loch Drunkie, and Loch Achray. The route was inaugurated 40 years ago in 1977 to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II.
Enjoy the breathtaking Trossachs scenery and keep an eye out for woodland and aquatic wildlife. Spot deer among the trees, listen for the chatter of woodland birds and red squirrels, and – if you’re fortunate – catch sight of an osprey fishing on one of the lochs.
At the drive’s end, visit the eco-friendly Achray Farm, where you can purchase artisanal goat’s milk ice cream made daily with foraged ingredients. Learn about the freely roaming goats or their adorable Shetland cows.
- Kilmahog - Meet and feed the famous Highland Cows! Honey, Dubh, and Baxter are three ‘Hairy Coos’ eager for you to offer them some snacks (potatoes and carrots), which they adore!
- The Kelpies & The Helix - Towering at 100 feet and weighing over 300 tonnes each, the enchanting Kelpies are a marvel of engineering. These are the largest equine sculptures globally, celebrating Scottish folklore and the heritage of local mining traditions.
