A pleasant walk through the woodland on the east side of Loch Lomond
From Sallochy Bay Car Park we walk along the West Highland Way to Ardess Lodge National Trust Scotland Ranger Centre. We then follow the waymarked trail, which passes through the woods before reaching some old sheilings. After visiting the sheilings we join the Ptarmigan Ridge path to descend and return to the car park via the West Highland Way.
