Think Kirsty Hamilton and Chris Maccoll have done just about every walk in the area, either one of them could probably point you in right direction

You've got me started now! Glen finglas just past brig o Turk. Park in woodland trust car park and there is a kids walk with activities etc that's really good. Lovely coffee at loch side venachar. Apparently brig o Turk tearoom good or anything called mhor in Callander! Also the forest drive past David Marshall lodge. If you stop halfway where the loos are there's a walk with some kids activities too and it's a good option if raining!

The dumpling at Gartoharn is a small hill with great views of Loch Lond. Our 2 could do it on their own from 3 years old. Same for the Fairy Hill at Aberfoyle where there are a few little fairy houses carved out along the path to keep the wee ones going. There's also the David Marshall Lodge at Aberfoyle which is great and they do little trails with clues - currently a bat one, previously had Alice in Wonderland, Pooh Bear.

Hoish Farm is good for walks, nice and gentle, good views and suitable for prams (10 mins outside balfron off main road towards aberfoyle). Balmaha good for walks, can walk right along the loch side, although can't take pram, followed by lunch or ice cream and coffee at the oak tree inn. Also wee blether tea room in aberfoyle is great.
