Strathyre
The name itself is inviting! Strathyre, meaning 'sheltered valley' lies at the head of
Loch Lubnaig - 'the crooked
loch' and is sheltered from the highland breezes by Bens Ledi, Vane and Shian.
Popular for many years as a tourist destination, we even have our own well loved
Scottish song - 'Bonnie Strathyre'.
Strathyre is often described as 'the first highland village' as it is the first village
north of the Pass of Leny which opens the way into the highlands at the Highland Boundary
Fault line.
.
This beautiful area is easily accessible by motorway from the south then by the A84 roa
d from Stirling. Conversely, the main Scottish cities are within easy driving
distance of Strathyre.
Strathyre has been included in the recently formed 'Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park' and now benefits from the investment in this Scottish National asset.
Strathyre is the ideal place in which to spend that special occasion, a few days whilst touring or indeed your whole holiday to explore the wealth of attractions near to Strathyre or further afield in the National Park.
