Old Photographs Of Lochearnhead Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Lochearnhead, Scottish Gaelic: Ceann Loch Èireann, a village on the A84 Stirling to Crianlarich road at the foot of Glen Ogle, 14 miles north of the Highland Boundary Fault. It is situated at the western end of Loch Earn where the A85 road from Crieff meets the A84. Loch Earn was on the frontier between Pictland and Dalriada, or Dál Riata, the kingdom of the incoming Scots from Ireland, Dundurn at the east end of the loch being a Pictish frontier fort. This lends weight to the argument that the name Earn therefore comes from Eireann, in other words the loch of the Irish . The siege, by the Scots, of the Pictish Fort of Dundurn in 683 AD is mentioned in the Annals of Ulster. Giric, sometimes called Grig, King of Picts and Scots, is said to have been killed at Dundurn in 889, and is buried on Iona. The Lochearnhead, St Fillans and Comrie Railway was established with the intention of filling the 15 mile gap between Comrie, Perthshire, where the railway had arrived in 1893, and the Callander and Oban Railway at Balquhidder. The line was authorised as far as St Fillans in 1897, opening on 1st October 1901. The Caledonian Railway took the company over in August 1902, thereafter extending the line to Lochearnhead in 1904. Trains first travelled the through route to Balquhidder on 1st May 1905. The line was never a commercial success and closed on 1st October 1951. Lochearnhead villages is located within the Breadalbane area of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. Three clan family names associated with Lochearnhead are McLaren, Stewart and McGregor. The first of these is recorded in 1296, when Lauren of Ardveich had his name entered into the Ragman Roll. The McLaren burial ground at Leckine was last used in 1993. By the time the Stewarts came to Ardvorlich in 1582, the Reformed church, under the guidance of John Knox, had been adopted in Scotland for more than two decades. It was nearly two centuries later that the MacGregors acquired Edinchip, in 1778, building the current Edinchip House in 1830.

The best-known is that 'Black' Duncan Campbell, a man known for his fury and his ornery nature, had asked the architect to build the castle with a parapet, but on discovering that there was not one threw the hapless architect off the roof to his death. His ghost is said to haunt the castle, wandering around the roof where the parapet should have been.
National Cycle Network Route 7 Rob Roy Way Guide Callander Lochearnhead Glen Ogle Killin
Intended as a one-off ride and video, this turned out to be first in a growing series covering cycling in the highlands of Scotland - Sustrans National Cycle Network Route 7 Lochs and Glens North (Glasgow - Inverness). Watch for new sections as they get added. The routes are all done as return trips so you can see the conditions and scenery in both directions and are intended to give you a feel for the route, gradient and surface - as well as showcasing the beautiful scenery
**UPDATE 4 June 2016. The sometimes muddy 2 miles beside the Falls of Leny is now supersmooth tarmac. Nice. The steep rocky hairpins 1 mile south of Strathyre are still impossible except on an mtb. That's my vote for the next improvement. **.
Cycling in Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park – the Rob Roy Way - Callander to Killin via Falls of Leny, Loch Lubnaig, Strathyre, Lochearnhead and Glen Ogle Viaduct – and a return trip via Balquhidder. Total distance 47 miles round trip (44 if you exclude Balquhidder on the return)
If like me you’ve driven up the A85 to Killin, and spotted cyclists on the Glen Ogle viaduct and wondered what its like, or maybe you are planning a holiday in Scotland are looking for a Scenic off road cycle route - this video is for you.
It answers all the essentials about the route:
What’s the gradient like- how steep?
How high?
How far?
What’s the surface like - tarmac, light/heavy gravel, dirt?
Do I need a mountain bike? Can I rollerblade on any of it?

Edited with Sony Movie Studio Platinum 13. No stabilisation (it cuts the field of view). Unfortunately this is resulting in really bad Youtube compression artifacts after upload - Maybe try chest mount next time.
Chest mount didn't help ... but a helpful comment on another video did ... disabling resampling in the editor has removed ghosting and pretty sure has reduced the bits needed for a clear picture. Too late for this one but good for the others.

Cycled with a Specialized Allez Elite road bike with 23c mondo slicks– NOT recommended, but bike was OK.

Look out for the wooley jumper at the end.
Thanks fro reading the description :-)
Glen Ogle viaduct.
Glen Ogle extends 7 miles north westwards from Lochearnhead to Lix Toll where it opens into Glen Dochart. The military road, which can be seen from the modern road, was built in1749 by Major Wm., Caulfield. It was used by the British Army in it's efforts to pacify the Highlands after the Jacobite Rising of 1745. It is possible to walk through the glen on a footpath that follows the course of the former Callander to Oban railway to the summit of the glen and Killin Junction. The route takes in the Glen Ogle viaduct and the bridge which has a concrete core, is clad in local granite and has 12 stone arches.

Glen Ogle Viaduct
Glen Ogle Viaduct is a 12 arch single track viaduct in Glen Ogle running along the steep eastern hillside of Meall Reamhar and Scorrach Nuadh. The viaduct travels out from the hillside and then rejoins it. To the immediate south is a three arch viaduct. The line very much travels on a shelf cut into the hillside between Balquhidder and Glenoglehead. No longer in use, it is now a fabulous walk and bike trail, just 2 miles from Lochearnhead.

End to End of Loch Lubnaig 2nd August Elivar Swim Series - www.vigourevents.com
2nd August 2015
Loch Lubnaig (Loch Lùbnaig in Gaelic) is a small Loch near Callander in the Stirling council area, Scotland. It lies in the former county of Perthshire. It is part of the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park.
It is around 5km long and has depths of up to 44.5 metres. The Loch nestles in the space between Ben Ledi and Ben Vorlich. Fed by the River Balvaig from the north and drained by the River Leny to the south, Loch Lubnaig offers fishing from the shore while canoes can be rented at the north end. Alternatively, two car parking areas on the east shore offer perfect, albeit sometimes busy, canoe launching points.
The route of the former Callander and Oban Railway runs along the west shore of the loch. This route has now been converted to a part of the National Cycle Network's 'Route 7' allowing cyclists and walkers to travel the 9 miles between Callander and Strathyre.
The name Lubnaig is a Gaelic one, meaning crooked.
This event will be a swim of the length of the loch.
The cost of a swim safe float is included in the price of this swim.
See Swim are donating their flotation aids at Vigour Events for all swimmers
Registration will be held at The Cabin at Loch Lubnaig where toilet & changing facilities will be avaiable. All swimmers will then be transported to the start.
Cycling Glenogle to Balquhidder in Stirlingshire National Cycle Route 7
This was a great route to do with young kids as it was mostly downhill. We left cars at each end and cycled down from the car park at the top of Glenogle down the old railway line past Lochearnhead and on to Balquhidder.
