Glen Lyon
We start with the glen said to be the longest and one of the most beautiful in Scotland. From the the headwaters of Loch Lyon on the north slopes of Ben Challum to where the River Lyon enters the Tay is a distance of 32 miles. It is possible to drive all but the uppermost 8 miles of the glen.

Glen Lochay
Glen Lochay is a sparsely-populated glen to the south of Glen Lyon. From the Bridge of Lochay Hotel to its headwaters it has a length of 14 miles. It is possible to drive the lower 7 miles but the road is single track all the way.

Loch Tay
Loch Tay is the sixth largest loch in Scotland and has been a focus of human habitation for thousands of years. It is 14 miles in length and has a pronounced northeast-trending bend between Ardeonaig and Fearnan where the glacier that scoured the loch basin exploited the line of weakness created by the Loch Tay Fault. At this point the loch has a depth of over 500 feet.
One of the finest views of Loch Tay is from Sròn a Chlachain (521m), the hill above Killin.
Excellent views of Loch Tay and the Lawers Range can also be found from Creag Garbh (637m) on the south shore of the loch, opposite Morenish
