Lying at the
eastern end of Loch Leven and with mountains
on three sides, this picturesque village
developed around an aluminium works built in
the early part of the 20th century.
A major
hydro-electric plant was later established
here. Today it lies on the West Highland Way
and is a haven for walkers. One path leads to
Grey Mare’s Waterfall - one of the highest
waterfalls in Britain – while a second follows
an old military trail to the magnificent Pass
of Glencoe via the Devil’s Staircase.
A major
attraction is a huge indoor climbing centre
containing the world’s largest indoor ice
climbing facility. |
