The Steamship Sir Walter Scott Ltd.

We will take you to the Trossachs Pier, Loch Katrine, where you have the option to take a cruise in the 124-year-old Steamship Sir Walter Scott. The cruise staff will bring to life the stories of Sir Walter Scott, Rob Roy MacGregor, the building of Glasgow’s water supply infrastructure, the natural wonders of the loch and more.If you prefer not to do the cruise and explore the area instead, you can climb the footpath to a stunning new scenic tower and lookouts at the Rhoderick Dhu watchtower site, immediately above Trossachs Pier. In the 1700s, this elevated site was used by clansmen to warn Loch Katrine-born outlaw and Clan Chief Rob Roy MacGregor of advancing Redcoats seeking his capture. In the late 1700s, two wicker huts were built here for writers, poets and artists to stay and be inspired by the outstanding panoramic views which is why the site is credited with being where Scottish tourism began!Cruise only available from 29th March to 26th October 2025.
