The Trossachs is at the heart of Rob Roy MacGregor’s and it was in this area with its delightful mix of lochs, burns, hills and glens that he lived his life and where some of his more famous exploits are said to have taken place. The Trossachs has a diversity of wildlife including magnificent golden eagles, osprey, peregrine falcons and red deer, which coexist with creatures such as roe deer, wildcats, foxes, feral goats, badgers and red squirrels. Writers, poets and artists have all been drawn to the shores of the lochs in this part of Scotland, fascinated by the tales of Rob Roy and the mystery of the “Children of the Mist”, the clans who lived amidst these wild hills. William Wordsworth, John Ruskin and James Hogg all savoured its incomparable atmosphere. Nearby was the inspiration for Sir Walter Scott’s Lady of the Lake. Several films including The 39 Steps (1959 version, starring Kenneth More) and Rob Roy (1953, starring Richard Todd) were filmed in the area.
