Glen Vale is a stunning Scottish Glen which is easily accessed from either the west at the Glen Vale car park or a bit longer of a walk in at the Holl Reservoir car park. Of course you can make it part of a longer circuit taking in as many of the Lomond hills as you'd like. Highlights include: John Knox's Pulpit, Glen Vale Falls and the 3 Parrish Stone (although the latter is, admittedly - a stone).

Hiking

Can be boggy in places - wear appropriate footwear or plan the walk after periods of dry weather. The falls are, of course, most active after wet weather.
