Just five minutes drive from Balquhidder Mhor Lodges is Loch Earn. Great for water sports and also wild water swimming. The Loch can be accessed from the south shore road, a beautiful winding road, where you can also access the start of the climb for the Munro Ben Vorlich, or from the A82 through Lochearnhead. Some of our recent guests fancied a quick dip and pulled up in a layby of the A82

Loch earn is only 5 minutes from Balquhidder Mhor Lodges. The 2018 Loch Earn Boat race will take place on Sunday 29th April. If you're interested in participating, read on!

Originally built by 'Black' Duncan Campbell (Donnchadh Dubh) of Glenorchy in the 16th century, on land acquired by the Campbells after their campaign for proscription, and subsequent demise of the MacGregors. It is said that Black Duncan pushed the castle's builder off the roof, in part to avoid paying him, but also because he omitted to construct the ramparts that had been requested. It is also said that the ghost of the builder has been seen walking on the roof!
