Another GREAT time at Lochend chalets. We have been coming here
for so many years and it never fails to deliver excellent value for
money. It's scenery, accommodation and staff are of the highest
order. Lochend is a great place to use as a base for seeing
Scotland. Its central position make it ideal for travelling to
sites near and not so near. If you haven't been before you must see
Doune Castle, Stirling castle and old town, Glen Coe, Dochart falls
to name but a few. See you next year Lochend.

say, every year since!! - Ed.)
Wow, what a relaxing place this is! Really enjoyed our stay. The
weather has been mixed, mostly good. We loved being so close to the
lake (Cedar cabin No.1 - Ed) loved all the ducks and took some
wonderful photos. Aberfoyle is a lovely town and birds of prey were
there every day (from rescue centre), so interesting. Buchanan
Street in Glasgow was good, if you go into Edinburgh don't drive
into the centre! (take train or use park and ride - Ed.) The David
Marshall Lodge is a great place to go, panoramic views whilst
having your coffee, it's not far outside Aberfoyle. Meals at the
Port bar down the road are good as is the ferry to the
Priory.
Lochend is the place to unwind. We loved it.

Living in such a central location means that the list here could be never ending!
The fact that we can be in the wilds of Glencoe, with it's rugged mountain range, bloody history and gateway to the highland town of Fort William, in just over an hour's drive from Lochend, or the long stretches of white sands in the eastern historic town of St Andrews, where our children used to play at 'Chariots-of-Fire-running', in 2 hours means that you can see many different landscapes in a few day trips. We even have customers that day trip to Skye, 4 hours to bridge, but that's a mighty long day in a car!
Royal Stirling is aptly named as historically it castle has been fought over back and forth for a very long time, here oldest remain parts are from the 1380's and of course there were add-ons through the years and was inhabited by the Argyll and Sutherland highlanders regiment until 1964. Topher had 'chanter' lessons there! The Chanter is the first part you play when learning the bagpipes.
