BLiSS Trail Legacy
LETi will continue supporting BLiSS trail. Three new installations were commissioned for 2017 that fitted Visit Scotland’s national tourism theme of History Heritage and Archaeology #HHA2017. Friends of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs supported #BLiSStrail with funds to create weatherproof trail signs. LETi collaborated with Geotourist smartphone app enablers to create a GPS audio tour including young voices in the community for Year of Young People 2018. 3 new installations were added in 2019. Please visit LETi’s website at www.robroycountry.com for the #BLiSS trail map and updates, tourist information on local accommodation, food & drink, events, attractions, retailers, wildlife tours and walks, therapies and other services.
