Tour Scotland Autumn travel video of Loch Achray a small freshwater loch located west of West of Callander on ancestry, history visit and trip to the Trossachs. The south side of the loch is wooded and well served by woodland tracks and forest roads. The loch is popular with anglers who fish for brown trout. Loch Achray is well known for its sheltered location, giving rise to placid waters offering magnificent reflections of the woodland to the south, the mountains and forests to the north and the majestic crags of Ben Venue to the West. Loch Achray was for a time the home of James " Beg " Stewart, born 1410, died 1470, of Baldorran, the son of James Mor Stewart, known as " James the Fat ", who fled into exile in Ireland when his father Murdoch Stewart, Duke of Albany was executed for treason by King James I of Scotland in 1425. James the Fat would never return to Scotland, and he was unable to inherit the Albany estates, but James " Beag " Stewart was able to secure a royal pardon and return to Scotland. The loch is now popular with anglers fishing for brown trout.
