The Trossachs Explorer
Following a successful two-year pilot, The Trossachs Explorer is now operated by Stirling Council.
Celebrating past success
The popular pilot service, which ran for the second time from 7th July to 5th October 2025, welcomed almost 6,000 passengers and provided a more sustainable travel option to help reduce congestion, ease parking pressures, and protect the National Park’s special environment by reducing car numbers, one of the largest sources of carbon emissions.
