Drymen is a compact village in the council area of Stirling, Scotland, sitting on the southern fringe of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. It’s within easy reach of Glasgow and acts as a popular gateway for hillwalkers and day‑trippers, lying close to the start of the West Highland Way and handy for walks up Conic Hill with views over Loch Lomond and towards Ben Lomond.
Historically an agricultural and droving settlement, Drymen still shows traditional stone cottages and a village green, with pubs, cafés and small shops serving both locals and visitors. The local economy leans heavily on tourism and hospitality, and the village retains a friendly, community‑focused feel while acting as a convenient base for exploring the national park and the Central Belt’s outdoor attractions.
