Loch Katrine is situated in the beautiful Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park and was made famous by Sir Walter Scott's renowned poem 'The Lady of The Lake'. This poem kick-started the romanticised perception of the Scottish Highlands which in turn led to the beginnings of tourism in the country. Another reason why Loch Katrine is famous is the fact that it was once the home of the outlaw Rob Roy MacGregor who was born in 1671 at the western end of the loch.
