In the Stirling area we have the Trossachs and the mountains of Ben Lomond, Ben Venue, Ben A'an, Ben An, Ben Challum, Ben Glas, Ben Oss, Ben More and Ben Lui which are in the north. We also have the Campsie Fells ( seen from my home in North Glasgow ). Tourism is huge in the area and no wonder, 40 minutes drive from Glasgow City and 50 minutes drive from Edinburgh and you can completely forget about the rat race. The Scenery is breathtaking!
The main river through Stirling is the River Forth. There are many Lochs within
the Stirling area namely
Loch katrine, Loch Lubnaig, Loch Venachar, The Lake of Menteith and Loch Lomond,
which is the biggest Loch in Scotland and is about 26 miles if driving up the
west side of the Loch.
