Loch Lomond and the Trossachs
Take the low road to Loch Lomond's bonnie banks and discover Scotland's first national park with its wooded slopes, shimmering water and high, misty peaks. Loch Lomond itself is the biggest stretch of fresh water in Britain and gives a tantalising taste of the Highlands.
“We drive through from Glasgow all the time. The scenery is spectacular and it takes less than an hour to get there. The view from the top of Ben Lomond is magic.”
Alex, Glasgow
The Loch Lomond song celebrates the mystical beauty of the Loch’s “bonnie, bonnie banks” and wistfully touches on the area’s turbulent history. The ghosts of Romans, Vikings, the clans and Rob Roy all drift through the air and you’ll find islands crowned with ancient ruins, the priory where Mary Queen of Scots hid from Henry VIII and Rob Roy’s grave.
Loch Lomond Shores in Balloch combines a futuristic visitors’ centre with some great shops. Shop for souvenirs and visit stores including Hawkshead, Jenners, Edinburgh Woollen Mill and fine food store Valvona and Crolla. You’ll also find local galleries and craft shops dotting the area. Mansfield Studios overlooking Loch Long is a pottery studio and craft gallery showcasing superb quality ceramics, jewellery, photography, paintings, textiles and other traditional crafts.
In addition to Loch Lomond’s obvious natural attractions there’s plenty to see and do. Take a steamer trip on Loch Katrine where Sir Walter Scott’s Lady of the Lake is set, explore the charming village of Luss and explore Inchmahome Priory where Mary Queen of Scots hid before her flight to France.
