Port of Menteith
StirlingThe village of Port of Menteith is located at the northeast corner of the Lake of Menteith, 5 miles (8 km) southwest of Callander in Stirling. Situated at the heart of the ancient earldom of Menteith and the Clan Graham, it is the main landing place from the island of Inchmahome. The settlement was created a burgh of barony in 1467 by James III. Surrounded by fertile farming land, the village is overlooked by the Menteith Hills. Inchmahome Priory is located on an island in the Lake, whilst the trout fishing is undertaken on the Lake.
