Map showing Crianlarich

Crianlarich

The name Crianlarich comes from the Gaelic words meaning 'the small pass'. The village lies at the junction of glen Dochart and Glen Falloch - trunk roads A85 and the A82. It is about 600 feet above sea level.

Originally a small settlement at the junction of two important routes through the mountains, Crianlarich is better known now as a centre for walking and climbing and for its railway station where the traveller can board the west highland railway for the spectacular trip to Oban or Fort William.

The village has a selection of hotels and guest houses and a small general store which for all its size offers a surprising range of groceries as well as newspapers and a lot of local knowledge.
