From Callander you head north, following the River Garbh Uisge upstream through the forest of Strathyre and past the Falls of Leny. The Pass of Leny is an ancient entrance to the Highlands. You will then cycle along the shores of Loch Lubnaig. Please note that half way along there is a short section of zigzag slopes and rough surfaces. After leaving the loch’s shores, you can take a well deserved break at Strathyre. As well as shops and restaurants, there is also a Forest Centre here, which provides toilets and a picnic area. It is then only three miles along a minor road to the village of Balquhidder, where you can visit Rob Roy’s grave.

It’s onwards to Kingshouse and then through the spectacular Glen Ogle (please take care as there are a couple of steep sections), and your surroundings change to heather clad mountains. You cross the A85 at the top of Glen Ogle and the final descent is through a short section of Acharn Forest to Killin, where you can take a long and well earned rest at the Falls of Dochart, surrounded by magnificent scenery.
