Conveniently located just 20 minutes west of Stirling and under an hour from both Glasgow and Edinburgh, it’s an accessible destination for anglers.
The 700-acre lake, meticulously stocked with high-quality rainbow and brown trout reared on-site, offers exclusive boat fishing. Denis ensures a fleet of 36 well-maintained fifteen-foot boats, each equipped with an outboard engine, oars, net, and drogue, is available for visitors.
