Lochmaben Castle

Dumfries & Galloway | Lochmaben | Castle | ★★

[Lochmaben Castle]

An early 14th century castle with moat, huge defensive walls and turbulent history... sounds like a rewarding day out? Well, today's Lochmaben Castle is actually rather less than the sum of its potential parts - a structurally unsafe ruin partly blocked off by metal fences when we last visited. But throw in the picturesque Castle Loch beyond the stonework, and it's a worthwhile rural stop-off.

The Bicycle Tree

Image
Stirling | Brig o' Turk | Historic site | ★★

Are you sitting comfortably? Once upon a time, a young man from Brig o' Turk left his bicycle leant against a sycamore tree before going to fight in the First World War. Whether he returned is unknown, but the bike was left abandoned and, over the decades, the tree swallowed up the frame and carried it up into the air inside the trunk. At the same time, the tree consumed iron parts from an adjacent blacksmith's spoil heap, apparently including an anchor and a horse's bridle. Now we're a bit sceptical about taking the whole story as gospel, but there must be some truth in the tale. Parts of the bike still clearly protrude from the trunk alongside other metal implements: a strange sight indeed, and one that was awarded protected status in 2015. The tree is not signposted but grows next to the quiet Glen Finglas road - directions below. The Byre Inn serves good food nearby. Of course, if you come to the area by bike, be car…

Walk: Glen Finglas Play Trail - fun in the forest

Image
Stirling | Trossachs | Short walk | ★★★

This short and sweet "play trail" maintained by the Woodland Trust is one of the hidden gems of the Trossachs - particularly for children. 17 interactive sculptures test visitors' senses and introduce some of the local wildlife, while complementing the beautiful woodland landscape on the north side of Loch Venachar (though views of the loch itself are at a premium). The route starts at the Glen Finglas Visitor Gateway: a swish, modern visitor centre with toilets and its own, free flora and fauna exhibition - Scotland could do with more of these!

Three Lochs Forest Drive

Image
Stirling | Aberfoyle | Scenic road | ★★★

There are three forest drives in Scotland. These are unsurfaced scenic roads maintained by Forestry and Land Scotland, allowing visitors to get a taste of remote (ish) parts of the countryside without leaving their vehicles. The Three Lochs Forest Drive is the only one found in the Highlands, and we think it's the most spectacular of the trio. Winding gradually downhill from the summit of Duke's Pass, the track offers wonderful views across the heart of the forested Trossachs. There are short, waymarked walking trails at three points; by far the most attractive are those along Loch Drunkie - the middle of the three lochs on the passed on the route. The best time to visit is in mid October when you'll catch stunning autumnal hues, just before the forest drive closes for the season.
