Overview

Join Glasgow Young Walkers for a walk on the Three Lochs Way from Garelochhead to Arrochar . As per Walkhighlands 'The third stage of the route rejoins the Yankee Road above Garelochhead. The first section offers fine views over the loch although the military buildings and pylons do detract from the experience; later the route heads through hidden Gleann Culanach. After Glen Douglas comes the finest section, with stunning views of the Arrochar Alps clustered around the head of Loch Long’
