Welcome to Stronachlachar

Our Stronachlachar development is located within a small hamlet community in a superb position close to the banks of Loch Katrine and surrounded by outstanding views and countryside.

The word is Stronachlachar come from the Gaelic for “the nose or point of the stonemason”, the hamlet and is located on the south western side of the legendary Loch Katrine.    This area is stunningly idyllic with The Trossachs on close by.
