Loch Tay - Perth & Kinross
Loch Tay is more or less situated in the
centre of Scotland, just south of the
Grampian Mountains, with Killin at the south
of the loch and Kenmore at the north.
The other main towns in the area are,
Aberfeldy, Dunkeld and Pitlochry.
The north side of the loch contains the mountains,
where 3 or 4 can be climbed by hopping
from one to the other....Ben Lawers,
Meall Greig, Meall Garbh and Meall a choire Leith.
Also a few miles north of Kenmore there is
Schiehallion, which attracts climbers all year
round. The loch is also a popular destination
with Watersport enthusiasts. There are a few golf courses in the area too
and fishing is plentifulThe small village of Kenmore, Perthshire, on the A827 at the eastern end of Loch Tay is an excellent base from which to conduct your walking or climbing of the surrounding area.
I pitched tent in the local campsite and was delighted to find a nine hole golf course next door. In between the golf, Schiehallion(1083), Ben Lawers(1214) and Beinn Ghlas were conquered, all of which require a few thigh muscles and a good 5hrs of your time. All have manageable paths, again the views are fantastic.

Just north of Kenmore is Drummond Hill which boasts many forest walks
and most will produce a view down Loch Tay, where many watersports can be
endulged in.
Kenmore, which is also well within striking distance of the scenic Loch Rannoch and
Loch Tummel, and the village of Killin, with the nearby Ben More at the other
end of the loch are well worth a visit.
