Note: Glen Dochart is a wide tranquil and breathtakingly beautiful glen (valley) which runs from Crianlarich in the west to Killin and Loch Tay in the East. The River Dochart runs along this glen from the small but lovely Loch Dochart near Crianlarich to Killin where it plunges spectacularly through Killin at the Falls of Dochart, then flows into Loch Tay. A little further to the east, there is a magnificent and secluded seven mile walk through a mountain pass to Balquhidder which emerges beside the church and graveyard where Rob Roy McGregor was buried with his wife Mary and his two sons Coll and Robert. Glen Dochart is little changed since Rob Roy walked its paths in the early 1700s.
