Location

Loch Lomond is one of Scotland's most beautiful and iconic places. It was even the inspiration behind a love song that people in Scotland sing at several special occasions, usually at the end of a merry night out. The mesmerising loch lies in the heart of the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, where you'll be surrounded by charming villages, rolling countryside, hills and some truly wonderful activities. Take a cruise on the waters and admire the mighty bulk of Ben Lomond, Scotland's most southerly Munro, as well as the jagged shoulders of the Arrochar Alps. You could maybe even visit one of the loch's 30 islands. At the southern end of the water is Loch Lomond Shores, surely one of the most beautifully situated shopping destinations in Britain. You can browse famous Scottish brands, and pick up some fine local fare. If you agree that there is nothing more pleasant than an afternoon on the water in a boat or perhaps a kayak, canoe, jetski, cruiser - or even wind surfing. Every kind of watercraft and water lover can be seen cruising about the waters. Keen anglers are in luck - there's plenty going on below the surface as well, as any fisherman will tell you. Loch Lomond has a shoreline of 153 km, so whether you're after a gentle round of golf and a romantic loch-side amble, or a vigorous hike and wild watery adventures, you'll definitely find something to do.
