Loch Tay is one of Scotland’s most precious lochs. It’s scenic and majestic in appearance, mysterious and alluring in atmosphere. It is also the largest in the county of Perthshire and one of the deepest in all of Scotland. Though totally remote from the cities, Loch Tay is easily accessible and can be reached via Edinburgh and Glasgow in about two hours by car. There’s plenty to enjoy in the lake, apart from its natural vistas. You can sail and kayak on its calm waters, set up a picnic close to the water at Dalerb, or hike via Kenmore at the northern head of the lake. What better way to complete your trip to this natural wonder than to camp in style? Discover how you can enjoy the lake and its surrounding areas without roughing it.
