Neighbourhood highlights

Kippen is a really friendly village a great place to live. Its situated on the border of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs national park and has easy access to all sorts of outdoors activities within a short drive. Alternatively there are many scenic walks within the village and environs. Kippen is a real community with an award winning busy gastropub that attract locals and customers from outside the village alike. We have also become a bit of a foodie hub with a deli/coffee shop in the village (Rhubarb and Lime) and the Woodhouse coffee and farm shop & award winning family butcher on the edge of the village. Additionally we have a post office/general store in the village. The pub stocks a range of beers including those made by Kippen's own micro brewery - Fallen brewery. Kippen is an ideal base for outdoor activities like hill walking, golfing, kayaking, cycling, open water swimming, tennis and many more. Whiskey distilleries as well as many of Scotland's historic sites and museums are within easy reach.
