Things to do in Killearn

The village of Killearn, near Stirling, is a 20-minute drive from us here at Loch Lomond Waterfront. Nestled next to the rolling Campsie hills, it boasts stunning views all around. 

Eating and drinking

The Kitchen Window is worth visiting to indulge in coffee and a delicious breakfast or lunch. Attached to the beautiful Killearn Village Hall, you can dine and absorb the most spectacular views of Ben Lomond and the surrounding hills. Additionally, The Old Mill, situated in an old weaving mill, is a popular favourite, where you can enjoy delicious food in their restaurant or a drink in their quaint bar.

Walking and cycling

Given Killearn’s location, there are some beautiful walks. The Killearn pipe track runs along the foot of the Campsie Fells and links to the neighbouring villages of Blanefield and Strathblane. Furthermore, to make a day of this you can walk it in a loop, where you walk part of the West Highland Way and can stop at the Beech Tree Inn for refreshments. The village is not far from the Lochs and Glens Way (National Cycle Network 7), which is a great traffic-free route for cyclists.

Nearby attractions

Just 5 minutes outside of Killearn, Glengoyne Distillery is definitely worth a visit as part of your day trip. Offering a selection of tours, you can see for yourself how whisky is made at this historic Scotch whisky producer. The Devil’s Pulpit is also just down the road. This beautiful gorge is surrounded in myth and legend and makes for a fascinating walk. However, the walk can be dangerous so we recommend only exploring the pulpit as part of an organised tour.

At the end of a busy day, you can be back at your Loch Lomond Waterfront accommodation in 20 minutes. So relax, unwind and get ready for your next adventure!

Testimonials

  • Outstanding

    'Chef in a lodge was outstanding. The food was excellent as was the service. Superb evening.'
  • 40th celebration

    'My husband and I came here to celebrate my 40th birthday and we truly had a magnificent time. There was everything that you needed in your accommodation even washing liquid and conditioner for the washing machine. The hot tub and steam room were a real highlight as well as the living log fire.'
  • Such a beautiful setting

    'Myself and my partner recently stayed in Drummond Lodge (from 21-24 Feb) and we just wanted to say thank you so much for a lovely stay. We loved our lodge, it was like a home from home, and we really didn’t want to leave! It was spotlessly clean and in such a beautiful setting. All the staff we met were really friendly. We also loved Balmaha, what a wonderful village. So thank you very much! We are the couple that took Flynn for a walk and we took this photo of him... we thought you’d appreciate a copy. Thanks once again...
  • My stay will never be forgotten

    'Just wanted to say a very big thank you for my wonderful stay, I have no words to describe the incredible comfort I had at the Cawdor Diamond Lodge, I just checked out today this morning from lodge 5, I do not agree that your lodge is a five star if I could I would call it a 100 star lodge. From start to finish, my stay at the lodge will never be forgotten it's special and unique and an amazing experience'
  • Outstanding location

    'The location is outstanding - right on the edge of Loch Lomond with private water frontage and beaches. As a location for exploring, again this rates very highly. We easily accessed central Glasgow by train from nearby Balloch and also explored Stirling (particularly the castle and Wallace memorial), the Falkirk Wheel and even Perth and Pitlochry by car. It is a very peaceful place, which can only be disturbed on occasion by your neighbours but with the Slumber Charter in place, we had absolutely no problems overnight.'
