St Fillans, Loch Earn
Introducing St Fillans
Here is a guide to St Fillans, by Loch Earn, one of the prettiest villages in Loch Lomond & The Trossachs. We have a growing section on this website featuring the villages of the National Park.
Where is St Fillans?
St Fillans is a small conservation village at the eastern end of Loch Earn, just within the National Park; here is the gateway sign just as you approach the village from the direction of Crieff on the A85.

Here is a more detailed village map of St Fillans.
BLiSS Trail
St Fillans is part of the BLiSS Trail, which connects the village with Lochearnhead, Balquhidder and Strathyre through a series of pieces of roadside art. Read more about the BLiSS Trail in one of our most-read guides at the link below. Pictured below is one of the pieces of the BLiSS Trail to be found in St Fillans.
Neish Island
Like many islands in Loch Lomond & The Trossachs, the small Neish Island has played its part in clan history. The ruins of a castle on the small island are easily viable from Achray Hotel in St Fillans.
River Earn Bridge
The footbridge crosses the River Earn, which flows from Loch Earn. Close to the footbridge is an information point.
Dundurn Church
Dundurn Church is one of the prettiest in Loch Lomond & The Trossachs. It inspired another recent guide to this and seven other interesting churches in the National Park.
Loch Earn Watersports and Fishing
Loch Earn is just under 7 miles long and is famous for water sports, with the Loch Earn Watersports Centre offering canoeing, paddleboarding and water skiing. St Fillans and Loch Earn are popular for fishing with good stocks of brown and rainbow trout. Fishing licences are available from several local shops.

East Creag Mhor
There are many good walks around St Fillans. One of my favourites is East Creag Mhor, which starts from the information point by the footbridge. The circular walk has an excellent elevated view of Loch Earn.
