Lochearnhead is a village in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, with Loch Earn known for fishing and watersports, the National Cycle Network and the local munro Ben Vorlich offering popular walks.
It was the coming of the railways that had the greatest effect on the village. In 1904 the railway was extended along Loch Earn to St. Fillans and Crieff, making Lochearnhead an easy place to visit. With the rise in Scottish tourism in Victorian times, the village became a popular destination from which tourists could enjoy the tranquillity of Loch Earn.
