Duke's Pass
The 'Duke's Pass' is the steep and winding public road which links Aberfoyle to the Trossachs and Brig O'Turk. It was built by a Duke of Montrose to link the different parts of this estate and to Loch Katrine. As you climb out of Aberfoyle the road takes you passed the old Aberfoyle Slate Quarry. Continue on your journey and you begin to catch glimpses of Ben Venue, Ben A'An, Ben Ledi, and Loch Drunkie. As Loch Achray comes into view with the three Ben's as a backdrop you will appreciate the true beauty of the Trossachs.
