Things To Do Nearby
Kippen is a small, interesting village that is in a commanding position, nestling between the Gargunnock and Fintry hills with extensive views to the north of the Trossachs mountains beyond Callander. Kippen and the nearby Kippen Muir are steeped in some of Scotland’s most colourful history. Perfectly located for hillwalkers, this property is only a 30 min drive from the heart of the hillwalkers’ paradise of the Trossachs.
The name Kippen probably comes from the Gaelic (indigenous language of the Scots) word An Ceapan meaning place of the little stump, outcrop or block. This refers to the geological nature of the village of Kippen as it sits on an outcrop of the Gargunnock Hills.
Despite its small size, the village boasts some wonderful cafes and restaurants and a gastropub: The Inn at Kippen, the Woodhouse, The Cross Keys and Rhubarb Lime to name but a few are only a few minutes’ walk from the house.
The General Store in the village is open from 7 am-7 pm and also has a Post Office service.
