Arrochar Caves Trail Description
The Arrochar Caves have long been a point of interest for walkers, climbers, and historians, due to their craggy features and their woven history with Robert the Bruce and his army. The trail begins from the car park and leads uphill through a lovely forest, passing a shooting range along the way. The caves soon appear and are ripe for exploring! Spend as much or as little time as you’d like, squeezing through the crevices to find covert pathways and hideouts, then complete the walk by continuing back to the car park where the trail began.
