This area became famous in 1810 with Sir Walter Scott's poem The Lady of the Lake, about three men trying to win the love of a Lady from Loch Katrine.

Scotts 1817 novel Rob Roy, was about an outlaw Cattle Thief born at Loch Katrine. This led to more interest in the area. Rob Roy is Burried at Balquhidder 26 miles north of Loch Katrine.
