Visit Rob Roy MacGregor's grave in Balquhidder Kirkyard, where the outlaw who died in 1734 is buried

Walk a section of the Rob Roy Way from Kingshouse, just east of Balquhidder, towards Glen Ogle

Walk the shore of Loch Voil below the Braes of Balquhidder

The Rob Roy Way runs 79 miles from Drymen to Pitlochry through the country the outlaw worked, and at Balquhidder his grave lies in the kirkyard under the Braes, with the words 'MacGregor despite them' cut on the stone. Loch Voil runs west from the church, and the Way passes a short way east at Kingshouse, heading north-east for Glen Ogle.

Cruise Loch Katrine on the steamship Sir Walter Scott, in service since 1900, on the loch that Sir Walter Scott set his poem The Lady of the Lake beside in 1810

Climb Ben A'an (454m) from the car park on Loch Achray for the view over the Trossachs

Walk part of the Loch Katrine shore path from Trossachs Pier, inside Scotland's first national park, Loch Lomond and The Trossachs, created in 2002

Loch Katrine is where Sir Walter Scott set The Lady of the Lake in 1810, and the steamship named after him has sailed it since 1900. Above Loch Achray, Ben A'an is only 454m but looks over the whole of the Trossachs. It all lies in Loch Lomond and The Trossachs, Scotland's first national park, created in 2002.

Climb Ben Lawers, at 1,214m the highest mountain in Perthshire

Look for arctic-alpine plants such as alpine gentian and snow pearlwort on the high ground

Walk the ridge from Ben Lawers to Beinn Ghlas

Ben Lawers, north of Loch Tay, is the highest mountain in Perthshire. It was long thought to be over 4,000 feet until it was measured in the 1870s at 3,983 feet, 1,214m, and its ridge carries six more Munros. The National Trust for Scotland has cared for it since 1950 because the lime-rich rock high on the mountain holds one of the richest arctic-alpine floras in Britain, among them alpine gentian, snow pearlwort and woolly willow, and more than 430 kinds of lichen.

Climb Ben Lomond (974m), the southernmost Munro, by the tourist path from Rowardennan

Look south from the summit down Loch Lomond towards its islands

Ben Lomond, 974m, is the most southerly of the Munros and one of the most climbed, by about 30,000 people a year. It stands on the east shore of Loch Lomond within the Ben Lomond National Memorial Park, owned by the National Trust for Scotland. The usual way up is the wide tourist path from Rowardennan; the Ptarmigan ridge to the west makes the better descent.

Tour Doune Castle, rebuilt in the late 1300s by Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany, used as Castle Leoch in Outlander and as several castles in Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Walk the courtyard and great hall at Doune, where the first series of Game of Thrones filmed Winterfell

Take the audio tour narrated by Sam Heughan for Outlander and Terry Jones for Monty Python

Doune Castle was rebuilt in the late 1300s for Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany, and its great hall and courtyard have stood in for Castle Leoch in Outlander, for Winterfell in the first series of Game of Thrones and for Swamp Castle in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Kayak from Balmaha out among the islands of Loch Lomond, Britain's largest lake by surface area at 71km² and holding more than 30 islands

Paddle to Inchmurrin, the largest fresh-water island in the British Isles

Land on Inchcailloch, the wooded island nature reserve just off Balmaha

Loch Lomond is the largest lake in Britain by surface area, 71 square kilometres, with more than 30 islands, and the best way into them is by kayak from Balmaha on the eastern shore. Inchcailloch, just offshore, is a wooded island nature reserve; further south, Inchmurrin is the largest freshwater island in the British Isles.

Stop at the Rest and Be Thankful and find the inscribed stone that gave the pass its name

Look down Glen Croe at the line of the old military road

Walk a stretch of the old military road below the pass

At the head of Glen Croe the A83 reaches the pass the soldiers who built the military road in the 1740s named the Rest and Be Thankful — a stone inscribed with the words was set up around 1749. The old road still runs below the new one; it was a motor-racing hillclimb until 1970 and is now the diversion route when landslides shut the A83, and the slope above is so prone to them that the road is regularly closed.

Tour Glengoyne Distillery, distilling here since 1833

From the distillery side of the A81, look across to the warehouses and work out which side of the Highland Line each is on

Climb Dumgoyne, the volcanic plug above the distillery

Look back from the top over Glasgow and the Lowlands

Glengoyne has been distilling at Dumgoyne, north of Glasgow, since 1833, when it was called Burnfoot, and it sits exactly on the Highland Line: the stills are in the Highlands and the casks mature across the road in the Lowlands, so it makes a Highland malt matured in the Lowlands. Behind it rises Dumgoyne, a volcanic plug 427m high at the end of the Campsie Fells, reached by a path beside the distillery.
