Sherrifmuir:
Sherrifmuir is an expanse of wild hills and moorland situated over the hill from Bridge of Allan east of Dunblane. In November 1715 it was host to a famous battle between english soliders and jacobite rebels. Many jacobites died on the moor and a monument to them stands on the dunblane road. Behind the monument is a small path leading to what is know as the 'gathering stone', a small rock where it is said the jacobites arranged to meet before the battle.

It's a nice place to walk and enjoy panoramic views followed by a pint at the Sherrifmuir Inn. The area has no public transport and is accessed by car from either bridge of allan or dunblane, although it is possible to walk and cycle but be warned it's mainly up hill!
