Frennich House Brig o'Turk Callander Scotland - Activities

Most of our visitors come to enjoy the many and varied walks and climbs in the Trossachs at the heart of Scotland's first National Park. There are also a number of interesting off-road cycle routes in the area and we can offer safe garaging for your bikes. A very popular activity is to take your bikes on board the steamship Sir Walter Scott to the head of Loch Katrine and cycle back the 14 miles to the pier. We are well situated for touring the surrounding area. Historic Stirling, Scotland's newest city, is a mere half hour's drive away.

Perth, Glasgow and Edinburgh are all within a 1 hour drive of Frennich House. We can offer advice on day trips by car, for example: Balquhidder ( Rob Roy's grave ) Killin (Falls of Dochart) Ben Lawers mountain centre, Loch Tay (the Crannog Centre, Aberfeldy , Glenturret (Scotland's oldest whisky distillery) at Crieff, and home in ample time for dinner.
