Loch Tay
A roughly 24 km Highland loch with the Ben Lawers range reflected in its waters. Kayaking, paddleboarding, loch fishing, and driving the loch circuit are all popular.
Loch Tay is Scotland's sixth-largest freshwater loch. Kenmore lies at its eastern end and Killin at its western end. The A827 road winds along the northern shore, with views of the Ben Lawers mountains. Ancient crannog sites dot the loch. Around Kenmore you can rent sit-on-top kayaks or paddleboards, or take a boat trip. The River Tay, where the loch drains, is a famous salmon fishing river. The southern shore has quieter roads that suit cycling. Driving the loch circuit takes about an hour, and it is worth stopping at Kenmore, the Crannog Centre, and Killin Falls.
