Lochearnhead (Scottish Gaelic: Ceann Loch Èireann) is a village in Perthshire on the A84 Stirling to Crianlarich road at the foot of Glen Ogle, 14 miles (23 kilometres) north of the Highland Boundary Fault. It is situated at the western end of Loch Earn where the A85 road from Crieff meets the A84.
Loch Earn is 317 feet (97 metres) above sea level, with the settlement running from its shores up to higher ground on the hills at the mouth of Glen Ogle.[1] Lochearnhead lies within the Breadalbane area of the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park.
