Straddling the Scottish Highlands and Lowlands, this island-studded loch has the largest surface area of Scotland’s lakes. Made famous by a Scottish folk song, the lake has mirror-clear waters that reflect the nearby crags and peaks, most notably the 3,195-foot (974-meter) Ben Lomond, with views of Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park.

What are people saying about Loch Lomond

Wonderful day in Scotland!
Eszter is a warm, knowledgeable, and very hospitable guide! We enjoyed a lovely day out with her and our group. The tour offers something for everyone: art, nature, and history. We had plenty of time to explore the Kelpies, Loch Lomond, and Stirling Castle, and we never felt rushed. Access to clean bathrooms and snacks was frequent. Lunch at The Oak Tree beside Loch Lomond was a delightful treat! We highly recommend this tour and will tour with Viator again.

Great whiskey and Stirling Castle tour
This was a great tour. An unplanned photo stop at the Kelpies was nice. Enough time at whiskey distillery and Loch Lomond where we had lunch and a lovely walk to the loch.

Nice day out
Had a great time on this day trip! We were a small group (just 4 of us and our tour driver James). James was chatty and full of information and he made the tour fun. Loved visiting the castle, felt like I needed more time to see everything fully though. We stopped in a nice village called Callander for lunch and we enjoyed the Loch Lomond cruise although it was a bit wet and windy, but it is October so expected!

Fantastic Loch Lomond Tour with Kenny
The gorgeous trail around Loch Lomond was our favorite part of the tour. The Kelpies were stunning & Stirling Castle has amazing views. Our guide Kenny was lovely and put it all into context for us with just the right balance of history and humor.

Q:Which part of Loch Lomond is best?
A:That depends on what you’re interested in. For scenic boat trips, Balloch is best and, for hiking, the West Highland Way is a popular choice between Balmaha and Inverarnan. A big draw is the Trossachs National Park, but some travelers come to the western side of Loch Lomond for golf.

Q:When should I go to Loch Lomond?

Then, see the mountain views from the water with a boat trip along Loch Lomond. Finally, don’t miss the pretty villages of Luss, Balmaha, or Balloch, which have plenty of restaurant options.
Q:Do you need a car in Loch Lomond?
A:Yes, it’s best to hire a car if visiting Loch Lomond as it can be tricky to get to remote locations by public transport. The beauty of this area is its vast nature spots and the driving routes, such as Duke’s Pass and the Three Lochs Forest Drive, are pretty magical too.
