Chapter Eight the Stones of the Southern Highlands
Chapter Eight The Stones of the Southern Highlands Moving on from the stones of the Lowlands and the Southern Uplands, the last stone encountered, the Wallace Putting Stone could easily have been included in this section and certainly when standing on Sheriffmuir, the expanse of the Southern Highlands to the north are so close and almost tangible. There are no distinguishing boundaries for the stones in this section and as a base either the towns of Callander or Aberfeldy should be considered. All but one of the stones are located in the ancient county of Perthshire although some through boundary changes are now in Stirlingshire but regardless, in the days when the Gaelic was spoken and stones were lifted this was entirely Perthshire. The majority of these stones are hemmed in by one of the major trunk roads to the Highlands and the A9 gives access to many of the stones mentioned. If making a tour of the stones, and including the Wallace Putting Stone, an almost oval loop allows testing them all within a day without too much travelling by car. From the Wallace Putting Stone it is 40 mins to the Sadlin Mare and then less than 30 mins to the Menzies Stone. From here it is 30 mins to the famed Bodach in Glen Lyon and 60 mins later the Ardvorlich Stone followed by a short 15 min drive to Balquhidder for the Puterach. This circuit, which has now been carried out on a more than a few occasions has been referred to as the “Perthshire Loop” and any stone lifting visit to Scotland would probably commence on the same lines.

Feasibility Study
for Balquhidder, Lochearnhead and Strathyre Community Trust April 2020 Broch Field Feasibility Study Strathyre, Stirlingshire Broch Field Feasibility Study determined that the improvements to the landscape of the site, which can only be achieved through community ownership, would create an attractive Strathyre, Stirlingshire for BLS Community Trust and vibrant space which would balance with the additional burden of care required. These improvements would also have the potential to introduce additional use and income streams into the community. Summary The undertaking of a feasibility study to investigate potential for community ownership of the Broch Field, Strathyre, was awarded to Munro Landscape by the Balquhidder, Lochearnhead and Strathyre (BLS) Community Trust. Community surveys, undertaken by BLS, confirmed a strong desire to take ownership of the field, which is utilised as a ‘village green’ for the local area and hosts regular community events. Key themes emanating from the survey results were taken forward to this study for assessment for viability. A concept proposals plans was produced to explore the potential for a reimagining of the current use of the field and enhancement of existing features. This was developed alongside investigations into the viability of each aspirational project and detailed costings breakdown. Overall conclusions from this study are that the Broch field is a much- needed community asset, with regular use and potential for sensitive, low- key community development. Expansion of the current facilities would support both local the community and visitors to the village and area. Implementation of landscaping improvements can be undertaken in conjunction with the introduction of facilities for the provision of a motorhome stopover, which would assist in supporting the ongoing costs of managing the site.

Strathyre and Loch Earn
STRATHYRE AND LOCH EARN SPECIAL QUALITIES OF BREADALBANE STRATHYRE & LOCH EARN Key Features Small flats strips of farmland around watercourses Open upland hills Ben Vorlich and Stuc a’Chroin Loch Lubnaig and Loch Earn Pass of Leny Glen Ogle Landmark historic buildings and heritage sites including Edinample Castle and Dundurn Pictish Hill Fort Summary of Evaluation Sense of Place The visual/sense of place qualities are important. The open upland hills dominate much of this area, with Ben Vorlich and Stuc a’ Chroin the highest peaks, creating an open and vast sense of place with diverse features such as rocky outcrops and scree. Although open uplands are characteristic of much of the highland area of the Park they are distinctive in the Breadalbane area as being generally higher and more unbroken with distinct exposed upper slopes. Loch Earn and Loch Lubnaig are the two main lochs in the area and both have quite distinct characters. Loch Lubnaig is enclosed by heavily planted glen sides and rugged craggy hills such as Ben Ledi and the loch shores are largely undeveloped. Loch Earn in contrast is broad in expanse and flanked by steep hills to the north and south. There are areas of residential, recreational and commercial development along areas of the north and south shore. The flat glen floors are a focus for communication routes and settlement. The flat strips of farmland around the watercourses provide an enclosed landscape which contrasts with the surrounding hills. Cultural Heritage The cultural heritage of the area is of high importance with substantial evidence of continuity of use of the landscape.

So I Hear the Rest and Be Thankful Pass Is Closed So It's
So I hear the Rest and Be Thankful pass is closed so it’s impossible to get to Crinan, right? No, wrong, there’s a diversion. So the diversion adds 60 miles and loads of time on to the journey, right? No, wrong. Depending on where you are coming from, avoiding the closed section or taking the diversion may add between about 10 minutes to just over half an hour and the difference in distance is an extra 5 to 25 miles. Edinburgh Airport to Crinan via Rest and Be Thankful 134 miles approx. 2 hours & 50 minutes via Callander, Crianlarich, Dalmally and Inveraray 139 miles approx. 3 hours Hamilton Services (just south of Glasgow on M74) to Crinan via Rest and Be Thankful 104 miles approx. 2 hours & 20 minutes via Callander, Crianlarich, Dalmally and Inveraray 136 miles approx. 3 hours via Tarbet (Loch Lomond), Crianlarich, Dalmally and Inveraray 130 miles approx. 2 hours & 50 minutes Glasgow Airport (just West of Glasgow) to Crinan via Rest and Be Thankful 86.4 miles approx. 2 hours & 5 minutes via Tarbet (Loch Lomond), Crianlarich, Dalmally and Inveraray 112 miles approx. 2 hours & 30 minutes or from the Glasgow area, it might be worth considering taking a ferry Glasgow Airport (just West of Glasgow) to Crinan via Gourock & Dunoon Ferry 93.2 miles approx. 2 hours & 50 minutes While the main road is closed, a convoy system may be operational on the “Old Military Road” which runs parallel to the stretch of road which is currently closed. As this operates 1 way traffic each direction in turn over quite a long distance, this can be quite a slow option and we have heard of people who just missed the end of traffic running in their direction waiting for over half an hour before it is their turn to move off.
