Throughout the summer boats ferry people to and from the historic Isle of Inchmahome with its ruins of a 13th Century Priory where once Mary Queen of Scots was hidden. The Lake of Menteith is the most famous and picturesque fishery in Scotland. With traditional Boathouse and Sandy Beaches, boats may be booked direct at www.menteith-fisheries.co.uk  
We have one of the best areas for walking, whether hill walking or strolling through the countryside. From climbing Ben Venue, Ben A'an or meandering round and about. Why not park at Braeval car park and walk on the tracks round the golf course, go a little further and check out the local waterfall trail and the ospreys at the David Marshall Lodge or for the more energetic walk to Callander. www.forestry.gov.uk For the golf fanatics this is the perfect area from Aberfoyle 01877 382 493 to Callander www.callandergolfclub.co.uk or further afield to Dymen www.strathendrickgolfclub.co.uk all 18 holes and spendid countryside.For something a little different why not try some watersports at Forest Hills (30 minutes away) where they have lessons in kayaking, canoeing, abseiling or even quad biking. www.goforth.co.uk  
If, like many, you’d rather stick to dry land, you can sit and relax on our terraces, cocktail in hand, and watch the antics of fishers and Osprey. Don’t forget your binoculars!
