Stirlingshire and Clackmannanshire are counties in the Central Belt of Scotland. They're lowland, with a mix of farmland and urban industry, but with hills rising steeply nearby. The big attraction is Loch Lomond and the Trossachs.
The nearest airport is Edinburgh (EDI), and this is west of the city so you drive straight onto M9 and reach this area within 30 min. Glasgow (GLA) is far side of that city so it would take an hour.
Read in the guideThe train links Polmont, Falkirk, Stirling, Bridge of Allan and Dunblane. There are also regular buses along that corridor and to Doune and Callander.
