Arriving here from Glen Falloch, you are approximately half-way along the whole walk, and have just crossed over from the Loch Lomond drainage system, draining into the Atlantic, into the Tay system draining into The North Sea. Crianlarich is just off of the way proper. It offers a Youth Hostel, some B&Bs, a supermarket, post office and pub. There is good access from here to Ben More (or Big Ben), at 1,174m, the fifteenth highest mountain in Britain, with terrific views from the summit, when the mountain is in the right mood! The town is a main communication centre, containing two original railway lines: the Caledonian Line’s Callander - Oban route which opened in 1873, and the North British West Highland Line from Glen Falloch to cross the Strath Fillan, which opened in 1897.
