This area forms part of Scotlands first national park and we'll stop off at a few points of interest as we travel over the route known as 'The Dukes Pass". Back during the early 19th century, this area was made famous by the writer Sir Walter Scott. He was deeply inspired by the Trossachs' stunning beauty, particularly when crafting his novel "Rob Roy." The region's dramatic landscapes and rich history provided the perfect backdrop for the adventures of the titular Scottish folk hero, bringing the Trossachs' rugged charm and cultural heritage to vivid life in Scott's celebrated work.
