Until 1800, few people chose to venture to these remote parts without good reason. The Callander & Oban Railway Company was formed in 1864 with the objective of building a route through the Highlands.
This walk follows the river upstream from Callander, northwards along the western shore of Loch Lubnaig. Three quarters of the way along you will reach the signature feature of this railway, the Glen Ogle Viaduct.
You will be walking part of the Rob Roy Way – there are some steep climbs – but amazing views from the top!
