Book Description

Excerpt from Nelsons' Tourist's Guide: To the Trosachs and Loch Lomond Hotels.At Stirling - Royal; Golden Lion, &c. At Callander - M'Gregor's; M'Intyre's; Star. At Brigg o' Turk - M'Intyre's New Trosachs Hotel, and a small inn. At the Trosachs (near the Pass) - M 'Gregor's Trosachs Hotel. At the head of Loch Katrine-Stronaclachan New Inn. The above are the principal inns and hotels of the district; - there are a few others not worth mentioning. The accommodation at most of them is excellent, and at the hotels of Stirling, Callander, the Brigg o' Turk, and the Pass of the Trosachs, we fare as well as at those of the chief cities in the kingdom. In many villages charges will be found more moderate and food proportionably less attractive. The charge for servants is usually from 1/ to 1/6 a-day, in the case of a single gentleman staying several days at a hotel. Fishing is to be had in all the streams and lakes of the Trosachs. Salmon and trout are caught in the Teith; and, at Loch Vennacher, salmon, trout, and pike are caught, the two last in abundance. Those who are fond of lake fishing would do well to put up at the New Trosachs Hotel, (M'Intyre's), near the Brigg o' Turk, where a boat may be had, gratis, for fishing on Loch Vennacher.
