Loch Katrine Location

Loch Katrine is in the Trossachs, at the heart of Scotland, within Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park. Here are instructions for finding us.

There are two locations on Loch Katrine you can reach by car, Trossachs Pier and Stronachlachar Pier:

• Trossachs Pier is the main centre where all cruises depart, including ones on Steamship Sir Walter Scott; there is also a café, gift shop, car park, cycle hire, motorhome and campervan hard-standing pitches and ten eco-lodges.

• Stronachlachar has two daily cruise departures in the summer months, and there is a café, car park, and loch view motorhome and campervan serviced hard-standing pitches.

Important: note please be sure to use directions to the correct location as there is a 45-minute road journey between Trossachs Pier and Stronachlachar.
