Next we will pass through Arrochar & Tarbet, before we catch a glimpse of the north end of Loch Lomond, and then on to Glen Falloch before arriving at Crianlarich. One of 2 main junctions on the West Highland Line, from Crianlarich we take a left and head towards Oban, we will pass through Tyndrum and Dalmally. We then travel along the northern end of Loch Awe - the third largest fresh water loch in Scotland - before passing through the Pass of Brander with it’s unique set of railway signals, known as Andersons Piano. At Taynuilt we meet Loch Etive which we follow until Connel Ferry, from here we descend into Oban with lovely views of Oban Bay - The Gateway to The Isles.
