Experience a Classic Steamship Cruise on Loch Katrine:
Discover the breathtaking beauty of Scotland’s Loch Katrine on a 2-hour cruise aboard the iconic Steamship Sir Walter Scott, which has sailed here since 1900.

Departing from Trossachs Pier, this unforgettable journey takes you to Stronachlachar and back, immersing you in the timeless majesty of the Scottish Highlands.

A Journey Steeped in Heritage
Step aboard the Sir Walter Scott, a ship preserved and cared for by a dedicated charitable trust. Built on the River Clyde in 1899, this remarkable vessel was broken into sections and transported across land and water to Loch Katrine, where she was reassembled and launched in 1900.

The Steamer is named after the celebrated Scottish author Sir Walter Scott, whose 1810 poem The Lady of the Lake immortalised the loch, with such vivid descriptions of the dramatic scenery that visitors flocked to Loch Katrine, which is why it is credited as the Birthplace of Scottish Tourism.

As you sail, enjoy live commentary from the knowledgeable captain. Learn about Queen Victoria’s historic visit in 1859, and sail by Royal Cottage which was built for the opening of the Loch Katrine waterworks— a vital system still supplying its pure fresh water to Glasgow today.

Scenic Beauty in Every Direction
Loch Katrine lies in the heart of the Trossachs, surrounded by rugged mountains, ancient woodlands, and dramatic glens. Part of Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, this unrivalled Scottish landscape is a haven for nature lovers and photographers alike. Glide across the tranquil waters while watching for ospreys soaring overhead in spring and summer.

Landmarks Rich in History and Folklore
As you cruise towards Stronachlachar, you’ll pass Brenachoile Point, which featured in the hit TV series Outlander. Let the stories of the loch unfold as you hear tales of Rob Roy MacGregor, Scotland’s legendary outlaw and clan chief, born by Loch Katrine in 1671.
