Named after Rob Roy MacGregor, Scotland’s most famous outlaw, the Rob Roy Way meanders across the southern Highlands of Scotland from Drymen to Pitlochry through many places where the outlaw and his clansmen were active. The trail follows old tracks besides rivers and lochs, through a series of charming glens and over passes which provide wonderful views of the surrounding mountains.
As well as the tales of Rob Roy’s adventures to uncover, there is a wide range of other historic sites to discover along the route, including prehistoric stone circles, military roads and the ruins of multiple crofts, shielings and mort-safes, all adding to the intrigue of this scenic walk.

Starting and finishing in the bustling little town of Callander, this delightful short walk explores the hills and glens nestled in the heart of Rob Roy Country.
The walk begins by following the Rob Roy Way past the Falls of Leny and beautiful Loch Lubnaig to Strathyre, before heading along the west bank to Balquhidder, where Rob Roy lies buried close to the ruins of the old kirk.
The trail then heads for the village of Brig o' Turk through two wild and remote glens dotted with the ruins of abandoned settlements, before meandering along the shores of Loch Venachar back to Callander.
Our Rob Roy Short Break walking holiday is a single-centre tour. Throughout the walk, you will stay in the same accommodation in Callander. Pre-paid taxi transfers will take you to and from the trail each day, allowing you to pick up where you left off while saving you the bother of repacking your luggage every day.

“Well organized, including travel package, book, hotel arrangements and luggage transfers for a care-free holiday. Well-arranged and care-free.”Mr Beelaard, Netherlands
“We highly appreciated that you managed to organize our tour on very short notice!”Mr Pliakas, Switzerland
“Thank you so much for setting up our walking holiday on the Rob Roy Country Short Break. The Bed and Breakfasts worked out really well for us, with comfortable rooms, especially appreciated before and after hiking, and the breakfasts were plentiful and delicious. Our hosts were friendly and welcoming. The taxi service for picking us and returning us to our hike locations worked out very well, often ready and waiting for us and helping us figure out the time frames for completing the day of walking to meet them. Our luggage was always waiting for us or dropped off when we were dropped off at the Bed and Breakfast… The maps and written descriptions of our walking routes worked out really well. The Moorlands were the most challenging part, but also some of the most beautiful areas to explore. The accommodations worked out very well and so did the driver pick-ups and returns to the trails when needed. The hike booklet descriptions were very helpful for finding our way and the downloadable map for our phone worked well to check ourselves… We would definitely recommend your services for those wanting a bit of support/luxury when enjoying a walking holiday.”Mrs Schulzrinne, USA
“Very well organized and great accommodation, thanks for a good experience.”Ms Lamphuttha, UK
