In April this year during our Spring holidays, Alessio and I, along with my parents went for a day trip to Loch Katrine. Loch Katrine is situated in Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, it is a 13km fresh water loch. The driving time is over 2 hours from Broughty Ferry.
The name Loch Katrine comes from the Gaelic cateran meaning Highland robber, on the Northern shores of this loch was born the most famous folkloric outlaw turned hero Rob Roy Macgregor. Also for Outlander fans from season 2, episode 13 some scenes was filmed here.
We took a 45min boat trip on the historic Sir Walter Scott steamship, it was very busy trip. You might want to make sure there will be tickets available. The views were outstanding. Suffice to say it was rather chilly but the sun was shining too. Afterwards we had some refreshments at the cafe.
This Christmas we will be going to Scotland and hopefully doing some day trips as well as family get togethers.
Hope you are all having a great weekend
