	The Trossachs and Places to See - History of the Trossachs Scotland
		The Trossachs and Loch Katrine in Scotland have been known for their scenic attractions ever since Walter Scott wrote 'Rob Roy' and 'The Lady of the Lake' in the early nineteenth century.
		Loch Katrine now has three options for a trip on the water: the SS Walter Scott, The little 'Ellen's Isle' - a small launch, and a recent addition to the fleet which was originally a small cruise boat on the river Clyde.
		Leave Loch Katrine behind you and return to Loch Achray via the pier road and turn left to pass the little Trossicks Kirk (drawing) and on towards Brig o' Turk.

	Forestry Commission - News - loch katrine deal's huge boost for scottish native woodland
		The woodland at Loch Katrine will comprise mostly birch and Scots pine, with oak on the lower slopes near the loch, as well as hazel, rowan, alder, willow, juniper, ash, bird cherry and aspen, with montane scrub of woody shrub species and stunted forest trees in the harsher environment of the higher slopes.
		The exact area of woodland habitat to be restored at Loch Katrine will depend on the outcome of discussions between Scottish Water and the Commission based on the catchment's "hydrological yield" (the amount of water that runs off the land into the loch).
		The Loch Katrine catchment is expected to to become an exemplar for this approach elsewhere in the national park and beyond.
