  • Strath Gartney, Achray and Loch Ard Forests
    STRATH GARTNEY, ACHRAY AND LOCH ARD FORESTS SPECIAL QUALITIES OF THE TROSSACHS STRATH GARTNEY, ACHRAY AND LOCH ARD FORESTS Key Features The Trossachs Duke’s Pass Queen Elizabeth Forest Park and mix of forested and wooded landscapes Lochs including Loch Katrine, Loch Arklet, Loch Venachar Glasgow Corporation Water Supply The Romantic Movement Summary of Evaluation Sense of Place This area lies just north of the Highland Boundary Fault and falls within the area known as ‘the Trossachs’. The Trossachs are a combination of lochs, woodlands and craggy slopes and summits and it is this combination which gives the area its valued sense of place/visual qualities. The inland lochs of Loch Katrine, Loch Arklet, Loch Venachar, Loch Achray, Loch Ard, Loch Drunkie and Loch Chon are important features of the area. Slopes rise directly from the loch shores to the surrounding uplands and peaks. There are areas of open upland including the peaks of Ben Ledi, Ben Vane, Ben Venue and Ben An. Settlements are small and focus on loch shores and strath floors. Part of the area is designated as the Trossachs National Scenic Area in recognition of its nationally important scenic qualities. Woodland is an important characteristic of the landscape of this area of the Park. The woods to the north of Brig O’ Turk are the only wooded upland hills in the Park. Wooded upland glens are an important characteristic of this area of the Park, representing a relatively large area of apparently natural wooded landscape. Duke’s Pass is a particularly important scenic drive and visitor destination.

Active Travel Hub Representatives of Trossachs Business Partnership which had carried Project out a Feasibility Study funded by Transport Scotland were welcomed, and they provided an overview of the report and the current status of this project. James Worrall explained that the aim is to provide differing facilities, suitable for all abilities, for travel in and out of the area. Emphasis is on Active, but to include electric bikes and cars, possibly bike racks on buses, but also hoped it will attract more people to the area. Noted that the project timescales had been and were still very condensed, and this impacted on the ability to do an extended consultation. Also that the paths section of the bid could perhaps be expanded as currently it focuses more on bikes, while paths for all purposes were seen locally as of wider interest.. There are 6 Transport Scotland major awards for the whole of Scotland and it was expected TBP would work with Stirling Council, and potentially get the necessary matched funding from the City Development fund. The bid deadline was 28 th February, with the likely level approximately £250k for Aberfoyle.
