Crianlarich is a scenic Scottish village around 8 miles north-east of the head of Loch Lomond and a major crossroads for north and westbound journeys in Scotland since medieval times. In the 1750s, two military roads met in the village and in the 19th century, it became a railway junction on what is now the West Highland Line. In the 20th century, it also became the meeting point of the major A82 and A85 roads, so designated a primary destination in Scotland, signposted from as far away as Glasgow, Perth, Oban and Fort William. The village, which is hugely popular with climbers and walkers, lies in Strath Fillan at the north-western extent of the Trossachs, with the twin peaks of Ben More and Stob Binnein towering over the village to the east. It is also 40 miles along the West Highland Way long-distance footpath. Crianlarich, although small, has good amenities including a shop, post office, attractive church and plenty of accommodation. Just south of the village on the A82 at the Falls of Falloch waterfall, is one of Scotland’s unique viewpoints, the ‘Woven Sound’.
