Menteith
 

The steepest section of this path has fairly rough steps which have been cut out of the rock. Though this part of the path also has a handrail, it is safer to walk up the steps than to walk down them and we suggest you walk the route in an anti-clockwise direction. The Trail initially follows a forest road and climbs steadily as you head into Achray Forest. A narrower path then takes you through a stand of spruce before the short steep climb uphill to a point where you can enjoy superb views of the Lake of Menteith, Flanders Moss, The Campsie and Fintry Hills with Stirling in the distance to the east and Loch Ard Forest to the west.
