Hiking

This is a lovely view from the very southern banks of Loch Lomond, Great Britain's largest body of freshwater. From here, the loch stretches nearly 23 miles (37 km) into the heart of the Southern Highlands and its southern reaches are peppered with beautiful islands.

Hiking

Loch Lomond is a freshwater Scottish loch that crosses the Highland Boundary Fault. It is the largest inland stretch of water in Great Britain by surface area. The loch contains many islands, including Inchmurrin, the largest fresh-water island in the British Isles.

The Loch is a popular leisure destination and is featured in the song "The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond". It's now part of the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park which was established in 2002. Loch Lomond is a corruption of the Gaelic Lac Leaman, or 'Lake of the Elms'.
