Loch Katrine (from the Gaelic for “highland thief or robber”) is a freshwater loch at the southern
end of the Trossachs National Park. One of the loveliest lakes in the highlands, it was made
famous by Sir Walter Scott’s poem, The Lady of the Lake. The major attraction is the steamship
Sir Walter Scott, which, with several other vessels, offers a variety of cruises on the lake. The area
has a lot of other attractions from hiking and biking to climbing and bird watching. More on Loch
