The Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park is full of bird and wildlife and a great place to view them is The Lodge Forest Visitor Centre, just outside Aberfoyle. There is a red squirrel hide in the woods and live CCTV in the Visitors Centre where you might see ospreys, woodpeckers and water voles too. The Great Trossachs Forest nature reserve has golden eagles, black grouse and otters. The Lake of Menteith is a great place to see wetland birds and the short ferry ride over to the island to explore Inchmahome Priory is well worth a trip. The ruined priory is very evocative and much of the 13th century building remains - King Robert the Bruce visited the priory on several occasions and Mary Queen of Scots was given sanctuary there after the Battle of Pinkie so it has many historical connections. It's a lovely place for a picnic too.

In the wider area you can visit historic Stirling to see the Wallace Monument or Stirling Castle, arguably on a par with Edinburgh Castle. Glasgow and its fabulous architecture and world-renowned shopping is only 45 minutes away. Otherwise you could take a leisurely trip to Loch Lomond or Loch Katrine and enjoy a day's watersports, or walk or cycle around the lochs, or take the paddle-steamer tour.

The area is also well known for its fabulous restaurants, with a number of high quality pubs serving excellent food in the surrounding villages as well as Nick Nairn's famous cookery school at Port of Menteith. Nearby Go Ape is a very popular with all ages - zip wire thrills in the trees! There is a massive amount to do around Aberfoyle.
