Strath Fillan

Strath Fillan

Strath Fillan (Scottish Gaelic: "Na Sraithibh") is a strath in west Perthshire named after an 8th C Irish hermit monk later canonised Saint Fillan. It stretches from Bridge of Orchy (NN 300 395 GB Grid) to Crianlarich (NN 383 248 GB Grid) and has long been a major route through the highlands; the A82 road, the West Highland Line, and the long-distance footpath the West Highland Way all follow the strath.

The Strathfillan Community Development Trust was formed in 1997. It provides low cost rental housing for local residents and manages amenity woodland.
