The Breadalbane area has many lovely cycling routes, including National Cycle Route 7 (Lochs and Glens North), which runs through the area from Callander to Aberfledy and includes an off-road section along the route of the former railway line between Balquidder and Killin.

Bicycles can be hired at a number of places within Breadalbane:

Comrie - Comrie Croft Bikes

Killin - Killin Outdoor Centre & Mountain Shop

Lochearnhead - Active Scotland

Canoeing & Kayaking

The lower part of the River Lochay and the head of Loch Tay provide a most beautiful wild environment for canoeing and kayaking.

Canoes and kayaks can be hired in Killin at the Killin Outdoor Centre & Mountain Shop.

Fishing

Loch Tay is noted for its salmon and trout fishing and more recently for its pike fishing.

The salmon fishing season on the loch is the earliest to open in Scotland, on 15th January. Grant Tigwell of Loch Tay Fish 'n' Trips provides a boat and acts as your ghillie for the day.

The west end of Loch Tay at Killin is becoming increasingly well known for pike fishing, with several pike over 30lbs being caught in the past few years. You can fish for pike throughout the winter, the only closed month being April.
