Loch Lubnaig is a narrow, sheltered freshwater loch located between Callander and Strathyre in the heart of the Trossachs. Surrounded by steep, forested hills and calm, mirror-like water, it is one of the most scenic spots in the region, popular for walking, kayaking, and relaxing by the shore.

Fun Facts

• The name “Lubnaig” may come from Old Gaelic meaning “crooked lake,” referring to its long curved shape.

• Because the loch is protected from strong winds by the surrounding hills, the water is often extremely still—perfect for drone shots and reflections.

• Loch Lubnaig sits on the edge of the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park and is one of the most accessible lochs from Edinburgh and Glasgow.

• It’s a favourite spot for wild swimming due to its clear water and easy access points.
