Descriptive Gazetteer Entry for Duncraggan

Duncraggan, a quondam hamlet in Callander parish, Perthshire, between Lochs Achray and Venachar, adjacent to the charred remains of the New Trosachs Hotel. It was the first stage of the fiery cross, as described in the Lady of the Lake-

Duncraggan's huts appear at last,
And peep, like moss-grown rocks, half-seen,
Half-hidden in the copse so green.'
