Loch Lomond and the Trossachs

Less than an hour’s drive from Glasgow is splendour of the ‘bonnie banks’ of Loch Lomond. In the shadow of Ben Lomond, Loch Lomond is Britain’s largest expanse of fresh water and whether you walk, cycle or drive through the National Park or take a boat, it offers some of Scotland’s most breathtaking scenery.

 

The main town is Balloch and a visit to Balloch Castle and the nearby Aquarium are recommended. There are trains from Glasgow Queen Street to Balloch and buses from FirstBus. Why not visit the picturesque  conservation village of Luss on the banks of Loch Lomond where the television series ‘Take the High Road’ was filmed? Scottish Citylink run buses there from Buchanan Street bus station.
