Steamship Sir Walter Scott Trust is spearheading an initiative which will result in over £1 million being invested in visitor infrastructure improvements at Loch Katrine and in the wider Trossachs area.

The Steamship Sir Walter Scott Trust has received the green light from the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park to reinstate the historic Roderick Dhu Path.

The charitable trust that looks after the 121-year-old Sir Walter Scott Steamship has launched an urgent appeal to preserve the iconic steamship and get her back sailing on Loch Katrine.

A new eco-camp opens on the shores of Loch Katrine, where some of the first early travellers to Scotland stayed in wicker and bracken huts in the late 1700s and early 1800s.
