Loch Lomond National Park / Alexandria, Scotland area

Ferries and pleasure cruises operate throughout the season from the lochside communities of Tarbet, Balloch, Balmaha and Luss and are a perfect way to explore the area.
Further along the West coast from Luss is Arrochar, dwarfed by the magnificent splendour of the famed Arrochar Alps that encircle these upper reaches of the loch. The distinctive shape of The Cobbler - Ben Arthur - is one of Scotland's most familiar landmarks and a mecca for both walkers and climbers. Walking, cycling and pony trekking are also well catered for in the nearby Argyll Forest Park.

The southern shores of Loch Lomond open into a broad, fertile valley that wends its way alongside the fast-flowing River Leven, one of the better salmon and sea trout rivers in Scotland. Several small villages overlook the river as it joins the Clyde at the ancient town of Dumbarton. Dominating the skyline here is the majestic rock, a volcanic plug, upon which Dumbarton Castle stands to guard the Clyde Estuary. The castle is one of the oldest fortified sites in Britain and has been of considerable significance throughout the centuries.
