The Port of Menteith is a small village located in Perthshire, Scotland. Situated on the southern shore of Loch Lomond, it is surrounded by picturesque landscapes and offers stunning views of the nearby hills and mountains. The village is situated approximately six miles east of the town of Aberfoyle.

Despite its small size, the Port of Menteith is known for its historical significance. It was once an important ferry point, connecting the area to the island of Inchtavannach in the middle of Loch Lomond. The ferry service no longer operates, but remnants of the old pier can still be seen.

The village is home to the Menteith Hills, a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts. The hills offer a variety of walking trails, ranging from gentle strolls to more challenging climbs. The area is rich in wildlife, with red deer, red squirrels, and a variety of bird species frequently spotted.

The Port of Menteith is also famous for its proximity to the Lake of Menteith, the only lake in Scotland. The lake is a popular spot for fishing, with anglers drawn to its abundance of brown and rainbow trout.

In addition to its natural beauty, the village is home to the Port of Menteith Hotel, a charming establishment offering accommodation and dining options. The hotel is known for its warm hospitality, delicious cuisine, and stunning views over the lake.

Overall, the Port of Menteith is a tranquil and idyllic destination for those seeking to immerse themselves in nature and enjoy the beauty of the Scottish countryside.
