A steep walk in places, the Poetry Trail is a loop punctuated with places to stop and read, to stop and think. Read nature poetry from throughout the ages, stop at the Blether Stane, or taking the spur to the Viewing Point back south across the Kyles. Moss Wood connects to the West Island Way – take the Poetry Trail and the spur to the Viewing Point – and then take the Stag’s Trod further up (steeply) till you reach the West Island Way. From there, head south towards Port Bannatyne or north along the boundary of the Community Forest. From the viewing point, you can also explore interesting heritage features such as the old WW2 bunker, kayak shelter, Balnakailly settlement, and the SSSI oak woodland.

Cosy Caravan in Roshven

10. Cosy Caravan in Roshven

97km from Killin · 1 unit
This self-contained trailer has been a well loved part our home since 2010. We’re happy to welcome friends and visitors to stay in it from time to time. A beautiful, wild and remote setting on the West Coast of Scotland. Peace and quiet! A useful stopover on the way to the Skye ferry. Cars/bikes and wellington boots are recommended. Eggs from our free range hens are available to buy. It is a drive to reach the small local shops/pubs. Walks to beaches and woods. We look forward to welcoming you. The vintage caravan is a cosy, quiet, self-contained space positioned close by our house. It is surrounded by honeysuckle and clematis. Through the windows you can glimpse mountains and trees. There’s a small double bedroom and another small bedroom that can be arranged either with a generous single or small twin beds that are ideal for young children. The living area has couches and a dining table. The kitchenette has all the basics, fridge, microwave and a gas cooker. The bathroom has a shower, washbasin and toilet. This self-catering accommodation has its own private lockable entrance. Guests have access to the caravan, garden, and driveway. Nearest shops/pubs are a 20-30min DRIVE away - it's a good idea to bring everything you need as the road is long and you may not feel like going out again! Please let me know in advance if you require the small twin beds made up. From the last week of May through to early September it is midge season in the Scottish Highlands, so be prepared to encounter these tiny biting flies - however, a light breeze and a stick of citronella incense is usually enough to disperse them! On still nights I strongly recommend that you keep the windows closed, otherwise you may find clouds of midges invade your space. There is a cooling fan to make warm evenings more comfortable. A haven for creatives! During April and October we host artists’ residencies specially for socially engaged practitioners who would benefit from some time to rest and reconnect with nature. When you book via Hipcamp, a small community fee is added to your daily booking charge and this goes to support these residencies by helping to pay for logs for the wood stove during the artists' visits.

Mountain campsites near Killin guide

Where to go

Falls of Dochart and Killin surrounds

You don’t have to work hard for a view over the whitewater rapids of the Falls of Dochart—you simply need to look out over the tiny bridge at the heart of the village. The falls make for a memorable entrance, and the short pilgrimage of sorts to the Island of Inchbuie (in the middle of the River Dochart) brings you to the ancient burial home of Clan Macnab. Just beyond, the Dochart Viaduct spans the river before emptying into Loch Tay. To the west of Killin, a short, challenging hike up Sron A’ Chlachain rewards with epic views across the Trossachs and Loch Tay. 

Loch Lomond and the Trossachs

A short drive south, the national park can keep the avid cyclist, walker, or forest bather occupied for days. At its southern reaches close to Glasgow, Loch Lomond is the main destination. Scotland’s most famous walking route, the West Highland Way, follows the shores of the Loch, and next to it, Ben Lomond is one of the most accessible munros to hike in the country. In the west of the park, the Rob Roy Way weaves up from Callander through Strathyre to Killin, with the peak of Ben Vorlich and Loch Earn to the left. Campsite and wild camping permit areas are scattered throughout the park. 

Loch Tay

From Killin, the Rob Roy Way continues over the hill along forestry roads to the hilltop Lochan Breaclaich before descending to Ardtalnaig along Loch Tay. Perthshire’s largest loch is hemmed in by the peak of Ben Lawers and the Tarmachan Ridge to the north. Campsites are mostly on the north side of the loch. 

When to go

Summertime in Loch Lomond and the Trossachs is peak season and your best shot at good weather. You’ll also be able to adventure well into the night when the sun goes down after 10pm in June. Unfortunately, everyone has the same idea, so prepare for crowds. A late September or October visit is one of the most enjoyable times to visit the area, with crisp autumn weather and as much hope for a dry day as in July. 

Know before you go

  • A bus service runs from nearby towns with train access, but you’ll be well served with your own set of wheels in this far corner of the Trossachs. 
  • Killin has plenty of places to get a decent meal, along with a small co-op grocery store.
  • Many campsites shut down from late October through March, so be sure to check for openings before you travel.
