New Loch Lomond & The Trossachs walking guides available

New online walking guides make it easier for people to enjoy short to medium distance walks in and around the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park.

Focussing on walks in the Cowal, Killin and Callander areas, the guides can be easily printed or downloaded to a phone or tablet.

Each guide provides a short description of the route, a detailed map and key information such as time to allow for each walk, distance, elevation, local and natural history and level of difficulty, ranging from easy to strenuous.

Simon Jones, Director of Conservation and Visitor Operations, said:

"There are so many great ways to enjoy the National Park and through our Outdoor Recreation Plan we aim to get more people active in the outdoors whatever their experience or ability.

"These walking routes showcase some of the wonderful environment and heritage of these beautiful areas on short to moderate walks so you don’t need to be an experienced hillwalker to give them a go."

Brendan Paddy, Director of Ramblers Scotland, said:

"We’re excited about the Park producing these attractive and easy-to-use walking guides. They’re a great reminder of the diverse range of walks available within Loch Lomond & The Trossachs, and several of the routes are perfect for beginners and families.

"I hope they will help inspire many more locals and visitors to explore the Park’s amazing scenery on foot – and to make the most of the world-class landscapes and access rights we enjoy here in Scotland."
