Crianlarich is a village in Stirling, Scotland. The village's name derives from the Gaelic for "low pass", relating to its geographical location.
Crianlarich has been a major crossroads for north and westbound journeys in Scotland since medieval times. This is still true today, as the major A82 and A85 roads meet there. The town bills itself "the gateway to the Highlands", sitting roughly half way along the West Highland Way.
The village sits on the River Fillan at the northwestern extent of the Trossachs, lying in the shadow of several Munro peaks, most famously Ben More, but also Stob Binnein and Cruach Ardrain.
