Location
Offering a prominent trading location with excellent signage, the shop with large windows has a high visibility presence on the Main Street, which is also the main route connecting West to East Scotland, equalling a high passing trade. The village of Killin lies in Breadalbane at the western head of Loch Tay in Stirlingshire.
It is surrounded by miles of countryside, and here you will find the scenic and renowned Falls of Dochart. There are many walks to enjoy, suited to all abilities. From a Munro like Ben Lawers to fairly level ground along the old railway line or following in the footsteps of Rob Roy MacGregor.
The village is served by a local bus service which allows connections at Stirling for bus and train onward journeys, and a Killin to Callander service. The local school offers primary education with secondary education taking place in Callander, 21 miles south, and there are also local groups for younger learners. There is access to an AstroTurf complex, tennis courts, basketball, football facilities, a Putting Green and Bowling Green.
Due to its central location, all Scotland’s major cities can be reached within a 2½ hour drive. Indeed, Stirling is under a 60 minute drive – or you may choose a day trip to the beach on either the west or east coast.
Loch Tay is a popular destination for both its salmon fishing and water sports. Killin sits at the edge of the Ben Lawers National Nature Reserve, where you can find rare arctic-alpine plants, red deer, ptarmigan, ravens, ring ouzels, skylarks and black grouse.
Killin is steeped in history and one surviving glimpse of the past lies at the ruins of the Moirlanich Longhouse, a rare example of a traditional Scottish longhouse, maintained by the National Trust for Scotland. Several churches which represent a variety of faiths, and a selection of clubs and societies including badminton, choir, drama, golf and Scouts are all easily accessible.
