This walk, between Killin and Lochearnhead, follows the route of a disused railway. Although a shame the railway closed (blame Beeching) it has left behind a fine walk in a wonderful corner of Scotland. Buses run between the start and finish, and connect to Callander.

Not Beeching

This closed due to a landslide was not to do with Beeching (for once)
