Scotland ~~ Ben A'an & The Trossachs
Ben A'an 454 metres, is one of the most popular in the Trossachs, and for good reason; the going is not difficult, and the rewards are great.
The view over the Trossachs and Loch Katrine from the summit of Ben A'an is phenomenal for its height making this a very rewarding walk.
The Trossachs in Scotland and Loch Katrine have been known for their scenic attractions ever since Sir Walter Scott wrote 'Rob Roy' and 'The Lady of the Lake' in the early nineteenth century. Sir Walter visited the Trossachs and stayed near Loch Katrine with his wife Charlotte and daughter Sofia in 1819. Knowing something of the history and legends, he was moved to write 'The Lady of the Lake'. It was completed and published in May 1810. The Trossachs became better known through this publication and as transport improved, the area became a popular tourist destination.
Trossachs of Old
Trossachs was originally the name of a small area between lochs Achray and Katrine but the National Park Authority has given the name 'Trossachs' to the scenic triangle bounded by the head of Loch Katrine, Aberfoyle and Callander and north to Strathyre and Balquhidder.
The Trossachs was the haunt of the highland caterans who hid in its secret glens, and after whom Loch Katrine is reputed to be named - though some say it was named after a lady of that name! Rob Roy MacGregor brought his 'lifted' cattle through the 'Bealach nam Bo' (or pass of the cattle) on the south side of Loch Katrine and the Trossachs Pass through which the modern access road now leads.
On the slopes above the south shore is a cave named 'Coire na Uriusgean' ('Goblin's cave') and apart from ghosts and goblins, is also reputed to be one of the hiding places of the old highland rustlers.
This is probably the most popular area in the National Park for those seeking scenery, walking, cycling and fishing

Police have named an English hillwalker who died on a trip to the Scottish Highlands.

Police said inquiries to establish the full circumstances of his death are ongoing, although there are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances.
Sergeant Deborah McCartney, from Fort William Police Station, said: Our thoughts and sympathies are with Mr Rooney's family and we would encourage respect for their privacy at this difficult and sad time.

View from the summit of Ben A'an, with great views of Loch Katrine and Ben Venue.
A great little walk if you have an hour or two to kill, and at only 1488ft it is not going to kill you.
Hard to believe someone this beautiful can be an hours drive from Glasgow.
For further information, type Ben A'an into Google and have a look at the undiscoveredscotland & visitscotland pages.
