Situated on the banks of Loch Lomond
in the magnificent Queen Elizabeth Forest, the hotel offers
spectacular views. It is part of the turbulent history of the

was then known, that Robert, one of Rob Roy's sons, brought a
kidnapped heiress and forced her to go through a ceremony of
marriage. In its peaceful capacity, the inn served as a wayside
halt for the wild drovers who brought their equally wild, shaggy
cattle across the loch by ferry on their way to the famous
markets that were held at Stirling and Falkirk. The ferry, too,
still runs in the summer months for the use of pedestrians and
cyclists.
