(D/A) Start walking in Main Street in the direction of the small city centre.
(1) Go right to enter Breadalbane Park through the main gates just off the main street close to the Primary School. Follow the footpath through the Park.
(2) Where the path splits, take the right fork. Pass through the gate onto a short section of the built path, which will lead you up to the hill towards a large stile. Cross over the stile and follow the narrow but obvious path as it passes through a small area of oak woodland, under the power lines and continues steeply to the summit.
(3) You are now at the top of Sron a’ Chlachain. The easiest return is by the same route.

By car : From Glasgow, there are two routes to get to Killin. Follow the A82 north for 56 miles, by way of Loch Lomond, to Crianlarich, then switch to the A85 in the direction of Killin. However, a slightly shorter (and equally scenic) way is by following the M80 out of Glasgow and switching to the A84 at Stirling, then following signs for Callander and eventually Killin.
From Edinburgh, take the M9 route to Stirling and switch there to the A84, then following signs for Callander and eventually Killin.
By public transport : There are more national bus services within the region in summer than in winter.

Sron a’ Chlachain, “the peak that resembles a nose above the village”, is situated on the west side of Killin. This route is a hill path with an ascent of 400 metres (1300ft). Most of it is typical of an upland path as the surrounding habitat is a mixture of rough grazing, giving way to heath and moor at a higher altitude. Walkers are rewarded for their hard work with extensive panoramic views over Killin, Loch Tay, Glen Dochart and Glen Lochay.
