Lochearnhead is surrounded by beautiful countryside
Loch Earn
Pipers at Lochearnhead

Lochearnhead began as a junction on the north-south road between Callander and Killin. This track was widely used by some of Scotlands earliest inhabitants.It has been used often by cattle drovers bringing highland cattle to Central Scotland. The completion of the military road by Major William Caulfield in 1761 improved communications with the village and it become more of an established area.

Situated on the shores of Loch Earn, the village is now famous for its hosting of watersports. Worth noting is that Loch Earn is unusual in having it's own 'tidal system'. It does not have true tides but it is 'seiching'. This is caused by the persistent prevailing wind blowing along the Loch which results in a stress on the water surface. These factors cause a minor slope on the Loch. Lochearnhead village in is a well-known centre for fishing, water sports, water skiing, canoeing and sailing.

Situated to the east of the village is Edinample Castle built by 'Black' Duncan Campbell of Glenorchy in the 17th century (though parts of the structure date back to the 1300s). Although this is now a private historical building, its presence denotes the importance of this area in the Trossachs.
