Everyone loves Loch Lomond
Here we go. My top ten places I love to visit on the banks of Loch Lomond. Now this is a hard task. It is one of my favourite places on earth.
10 The Village of Luss
Luss is a beautiful village on the west bank of the loch. STV- TV programme Take the High Road was set in the village. It was known as Glendarroch. Great place for views of Ben Lomond.
9 Balloch
At the South end of the loch is Balloch. Some times known as the gateway to Loch Lomond. The last chance to stock up with grocery's before the highlands.River Leven flows in to the Loch here. If you're lucky you can spot the colourful Mandarin ducks on the Leven. Sweeney boat trips leave from Balloch.
8 Loch Lomond Post boat trip
My favourite boat trip on the loch is the mail boat run.The Macfarlane family have been running the mail service on the Loch since 1948. You can join the boat at Balmaha. Knowledgeable captain.
