You wouldn’t be on holiday in Scotland if you didn’t go whiskey tasting. Fortunately for those staying at our Killearn B and B, Glengoyne Whiskey Distillery is right around the corner.

Glengoyne isn’t just any distillery, however. It has been called ‘the most beautiful distillery in Scotland’, and it’s whiskey tour was described as “THE best whiskey tour” by the Sunday Times.

Loch Lomond has the distinction of being the largest lake in Great Britain by surface area, and also of being home to the largest fresh-water island in the British Isles.

The loch’s grandeur and beauty have made it one of the most popular attractions near Killearn, and it has been featured in Scottish Gaelic and modern folk songs.

Ben Lomond is a distinctive mountain in the southern Scottish Highlands, and is in fact the most southerly of the Munros (a Scottish hill over 3,000 ft). The Munros are so named because of Sir Hugh Munro, 4th Baronet, who was the first to compile a list of all such hills.

We’ve taken a special liking to Ben Lomond, because you can see it from the balcony of our Killearn B&B.

The Old Mill, which was originally an 18th Century weaving mill, is now a charming pub and restaurant just a few minutes down the road from our Killearn Bed and Breakfast.
