The Chase will take you back 200 years, discovering this amazing part of Scotland through an off road race against the clock. Following the six cantos of the poem, The Chase will guide you on the same journey that King James V took, disguised as a knight James Fitz James, in pursuit of a stag across the Trossachs. Summoned by the beautiful Ellen Douglas – The Lady of the Lake - he then sought shelter on an island on Loch Katrine.

 

Starting time: 1pm
