Day 7: Another day with the hire car so we decided to follow the Trossachs Trail, which took us to many beautiful Lochs, mountains, forests and rivers. Our first stop was the pretty little town of Aberfoyle, where we saw golden eagles (at a little falconry centre in the main park - not wild unfortunately!). Loch Ard was our next stop - very pretty - where we saw a field full of deer (we don't think they were wild because there was new fencing around the field they were in!). We then took the forest drive or Duke's Pass as it is known. The bluebells were fabulous, they were everywhere (unlike home where they have been 'over' for weeks now!). The views of the mountains and lochs were spectacular too. We stopped off at Ben Venue which overlooks Loch Achray on our way to the wonderful (our favourite) Loch Katrine, where we had lunch overlooking the loch and the SS Sir Walter Scott once it had docked. We walked around part of Loch Katrine (for about 1.5 hours) before heading back to Blair Drummond via Loch Venachar.
