Rob Roy's Cave Gorge

Highlight • Historical Site

Not a cave, more like a narrow gorge. A steep path leads you down into the shade, where Rob Roy and his band of outlaws would hide from the sheriff. Or so the story goes...

Loch Ard is a picturesque freshwater loch in the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park and was described by Sir Walter Scott as 'an enchanting sheet of water'. There are many trails that surround the woodland on its banks, giving views across the water towards the likes of Ben Lomond, Scotland's most southerly Munro. Interestingly, Loch Ard is thought to be the source of the River Forth.
