There are many distilleries near to Crosskeys:- Glengoyne (Killearn), Deanstone (Doune), Auchentoshan (Clydebank/Glasgow), Glenturret (Crieff), Eradour (Pitlochry), Blair Athol (Pitlochry) Aberfeldy and Oban.https://trossachs.co.uk/whisky/
The accommodation in the Lodge is light and spacious – also well equipped. Unfortunately we did not have particularly good weather for our weeks break. We would certainly recommend this as a place to stay especially in view of inclement weather.
Everything we needed was easily acquired from Helensburgh. We visited local sites – Loch Lomond, Loch Fyne, Loch Katrine and surrounding villages.
Would love to come again – but hopefully with better weather – views would be enhanced considerably.
Many thanks,
