Strathyre is easily accessible by motorway from the south, located off the A84 road from Stirling.

Strathyre means "sheltered valley" and it lies at the head of Loch Lubnaig, sheltered from the Highland winds by Bens Ledi, Vane and Shian. It has been very popular for many years as a tourist destination. It is often described as 'the first highland village' being the first village north of the Highland Boundary Fault line.

Strathyre has been included in the recently formed 'Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park' and now benefits from inclusion in this Scottish National asset.
