This is a great road to start exploring the rich variety of cycling routes around Loch Lomond and the Trossachs area. The road is very quiet and rarely sees cars, so you can just relax and enjoy the scenery of this stunning national park.

Glamping spot with some interesting digs.

The Clachan Inn has been serving guests since 1734 and is probably Scotland's first pub to receive an official liquor license.

Historically part of Perthshire, the village is in the civil parish of Kincardine and the church parish of Norrieston (separated ecclesisistically from Kincardine in 1877), named from the much earlier village of Norrieston, which lay a little to the east of Thornhill. It is situated on a slight elevation at the western edge of the Carse of Stirling, an area of flat agricultural land which forms the upper part of the floodplain of the River Forth. Much of the land within the Carse was bogland until the late 18th century when concerted efforts were made to clear away the peat and expose the fertile clay soil below. Flanders Moss, the largest remaining area of lowland bog in Scotland and a site of special scientific interest, lies to the south west.

Lake of Menteith, also known as Loch Inchmahome. Inchmahome Priory is situated on Inchmahome, the largest of three islands in the centre of the Lake of Menteith. The priory was founded in 1238 by the Earl of Menteith, Walter Comyn, for a small group of members of the Augustinian order (the Black Canons). The Comyn family were one of the most powerful in Scotland at the time, and had an imposing country house on Inch Talla, one of the other islands on the Lake of Menteith. There is some evidence that there had been a church on the island before the priory was established. The priory received many notable guests throughout its history. King Robert the Bruce visited three times: in 1306, 1308 and 1310. His visits were likely politically motivated, as the first prior had sworn allegiance to Edward I, the English king. In 1358, the future King Robert II stayed at the priory. In 1547, the priory served as a refuge for Queen Mary, aged four, hidden there for a few weeks following the disastrous defeat of the Scots army at the Battle of Pinkie Cleugh during the Rough Wooing.

Great place for coffee and lunch. Cyclist friendly with racks to put bikes on outside.
