North Shore Trail, Loch Lyon
Highlight • Trail
The way is mostly rideable on a gravel bike or mountain bike and is pretty flat, so you can take your time to admire the incredible views down the valley with the blue water surrounded by great rising shapes of the hillsides.

Loch Lyon to Bridge of Orchy Mountain Pass
Highlight (Segment) • Trail
The road is certainly passable for mountain bikes and touring bikes with wider tires. Beware of some small creeks to pass and the occasional loose rocks. Start or finish of the road by riding towards the old railway bridge.

Start of the Highland Trail 550
Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint
From the outset you'll get a taste of what's in store, with this technically challenging trail meaning that you're likely to be pushing, rather than riding your bike.
Take your time to enjoy the incredible views across the Glen as you cross the border out of the Loch Lomond National Park and toward the Grampians.

The Lochan of the Lost Sword
Highlight • Lake
It's said that a battle between Robert the Bruce and the Clan McDougall led to Robert the Bruce's man being forced to flee. As they passed this wee lochan, Robert called for them to cast their heavy weapons into the lochan.
Alongside the smaller swords of his men, Robert the Bruces meter-long claymore is thought to be resting at the bottom of this pond, guarded by the lady of the loch.
