Loch Lomond

Loch Lomond is a freshwater loch lying on the boundary between the lowlands of Central Scotland and the Highlands. It is 24 miles long and between ¾ miles and 5 miles wide.  Of all lakes in Great Britain, it is the largest by surface area, and the second largest (after Loch Ness) by water volume.  

Loch Lomond is now part of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park .   A 2005 poll of Radio Times readers named Loch Lomond as the 6th greatest natural wonder in Britain. The loch contains thirty or more other islands. Several of them are large by the standards of British bodies of freshwater. Inchmurtin, for example, is the largest island in a body of freshwater in the British Isles.

First day - First stop

A beautiful way to start the visit

A gray day, looking over our first loch

The slipway was not open, but we could walk the grounds and look over this portion of our first loch

This modern building, with observation windows and open dining area was hidden in trees and must have been quite a place to stay and visit on the loch
