    Prior to the formation of Arrochar parish in the mid 17th century, and the later provision of a church there, the MacFarlanes of Arrochar regarded Luss Church as ‘their’ church, and a number of clan chiefs are interred in the churchyard there,” he said.

    “The usual route taken by the MacFarlanes to get to Luss was by way of the String Road, an ancient track from Arrochar, leading by way of a high-level hill pass to Invergroin, about halfway through Glen Douglas.

    “From there, the route lay by another hill track close to Doune Farm, into upper Glen Luss.

    “When the clansmen journeyed to Luss Church, they left their weapons at a place called Cnoc an Airm, close to the former Luss Schoolhouse, before proceeding to the church itself.

    About the Calorie Calculator

    Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

    When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

    Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
