Hi there, thought I'd upload another photo of the sun rising over Loch Achry in the Trossachs. Its taken from a different angle plus I thought the colours were a slightly better in this one.

Hope you like it, thanks for viewing.

Loch Achray is about 7 miles west of Callander on the Trossachs road, the A821 which joins the A84 trunk road at Kilmahog just north of Callander. The A821 can also be accessed from Aberfoyle.

Achray is a small but extremely beautiful loch right at the heart of the Trossachs and only a mile from its larger neighbour, Loch Katrine with its famous old steamer. The south side of Loch Achray is wooded and is threaded by woodland tracks and forest roads. The forest roads are open to cars in season and are accessed off the Dukes pass between loch Achray and Aberfoyle. The tracks are also a wonderful place to take your mountain bike or to walk.

For the photographer Achray is a dream, with the woods on the south, mountains and forests to the north and the majestic crags of Ben Venue to the west. The placid waters of the loch usually offer unbelievable reflections of the surrounding scenery.

On the north shore is Ben A'an with its easily recognised pointed peak. Less than 2000 feet in height it is a fairly easy walk but with fabulous views from the top over Loch Achray and down the length of Loch Katrine.
