Central Scotland

Lochs, Hills, River Valleys, and Historic Routes

From the lochs and hills of Loch Lomond & The Trossachs to the river valleys, woodlands, and historic landscapes of central Scotland, the region contains a diverse network of routes, landscapes, and places shaped by geology, waterways, and centuries of history. Trails such as the West Highland Way, John Muir Way, Rob Roy Way, and Three Lochs Way reveal many of these environments, while landscapes including Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, the Campsie Fells, the Ochil Hills, and the Forth Valley showcase some of the region's most distinctive natural environments.

Long-distance routes pass through lochside landscapes, woodland, river corridors, farmland, upland terrain, and historic settlements, linking places that have shaped the character of the region for generations. Together, these routes and landscapes reveal the diversity of Central Scotland while providing opportunities to explore at a slower pace through self-guided travel and independent exploration.
