We’ve had a lovely week in this well appointed and comfortable cottage (Crosskeys Cottage). Alison and Craig have been very welcoming and helpful.
Crosskeys is so well situation for exploring this part of Scotland, especially Loch Lomond and the Trossachs. Our excursion on the steamer ‘Sir Walter Scott’ on Loch Katrine worked brilliantly helped by some sunny weather.
Supermarkets in Helensburgh and Balloch were easily accessible where we could buy everything we needed for meals. Maisie, our labrador was equally content!
A great visit and one we would love to repeat at some stage.

The World’s first and only rotating boat lift. Completed in 2002 the huge Falkirk wheel re-connects the Fourth & Clyde and Union canals after the 11 original lock gates were dismantled in the 1930’s. Also an opportunity to visit the famous Kelpieshttps://www.scottishcanals.co.uk/falkirk-wheel/
Regarded as one of Britain’s best drives, the A821 road between Aberfoyle and Loch Achray leads you through some of the most scenic parts of the iconic Trossachs landscape.https://forestryandland.gov.scot/visit/forest-parks/queen-elizabeth-forest-park/dukes-pass
