We had a great walk in Glen Lyon yesterday, up to what’s known as ‘The Praying Hands of Mary’ or ‘Fionn’s Rock’. Legend has it it was split in two by an arrow fired by the legendary Celtic hero Fingal, or Fionn mac Cumhaill. It was spectacular and a fantastic walk in the autumn landscape.

A lovely view from Alva Glen, once the short climb out of the gorge is complete. Although it was a hazy day you can see all the way to the winding #forth in the distance beyond the plains and Alloa.

A super little walk, easy parking, sculpture trail and informative boards about the heritage of the area.... more details here

Alva Glen

The Alva Glen is a steep-sided cleft scored in the southern front of the Ochils range. This short walk up it follows a dramatic path, easy at first, which climbs up into this ravine. The upper part involves a steep ascent with precipitous slopes and ends at a viewpoint overlooking the Smuggler's Cave in the floor of the gorge.
