Loch Tay

Photo by Keith Mitchell

Loch Tay is 16 miles long and at its widest is more than a mile across. It runs from the south west (Killin) to the north east (Kenmore) and is flanked on either side by mountains. These include the Munros of Ben Lawers and Meall Greigh. On the north side is the main A827 road which also links Killin and Kenmore and is an important east-west corridor. On the south shore is a single track road which, although it takes longer, offers some fine views.

 

Loch Tay is renowned for its water sports, including fishing, canoeing, paragliding, rafting, yachting and pleasure boating. There are three main centres on the Loch: Croft-na-Caber water sports centre, Highland Lodges and the Loch Tay boating centre. Estates such as Remony may also hire out fishing boats
