Catch a trout (or two)
Vegans aside, who does not love fresh trout on a platter? Lake of Menteith is world renowned for its trout fishing waters. You’ll find boats you could hire and even better join in on a group fly- fishing group and make some new mates! Lake of Menteith is so revered for trout fishing that that is where national and world championship events are frequently held.
Inchmahome Priory
Catch a boat shuttle across the lake for the spiritual Inchmahome Priory, the monastic sanctuary famed for where Mary Queen of Scots was sent for refuge as a young girl. The 13th-century medieval castle can be a must-visit for everyone who appreciates history.
Wild Water Swimming
Lake of Menteith offers a clear physique of water for open water swimmers and is called a must-do Scottish wild swim! Wild water swimming is said to be healthy for one’s cardiovascular health also as mental and physical wellbeing. There are actually also lots of stunning walking paths around the picturesque Lake of Menteith. Pack a picnic and love a waterside lunch – the region is actually a haven for wildlife.
Try the national dish – Haggis!
A must-try for carnivores is Haggis, the national dish of Scotland. Although not for everyone, Haggis is really a savoury pudding containing sheep’s liver, heart, and lungs minced with oats and spices packed into a sheep’s stomach and boiled. It’s hearty and nourishing and ordinarily served with potatoes and swedes (tatties and neeps) – plus a Scotch whisky!
Malt Vault
Whilst Scotland is home to a huge selection of whisky distilleries to explore (which includes the nearby Deanston Distillery), one does not need to venture far from the resort to attempt a really very good whisky. Karma Lake of Menteith is home to an award-winning malt vault that holds some really rare, specific and limited-edition Scotch whiskies.
Study a Sir Walter Scott novel
When staying at Karma Lake of Menteith, it makes excellent sense to study one of Sir Walter Scott’s historical novels. Sir Walter Scott wrote more than two dozen novels set in Scotland like ‘The Lady of the Lake’, ‘A legend of the wars of Montrose’ and ‘The Bride of Lammermoor’. Cozy up on the sofa together with your favourite local whisky and disappear into a realm of war, rebellion and romanticism.
City Culture
If you need to have a break from all of the all-natural rugged beauty, the great news is Karma Lake of Menteith is located only an hour from Glasgow and Edinburgh – both of that are cultural cities. Pay a visit to Edinburgh in August and you soak up the renowned Edinburgh festival. Glasgow is equally home to a wealthy arts and music scene.
