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.

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.
