*****Loch Lomond***** If you’re planning to visit Loch Lomond, here is a review to give you lots of information to help you plan your trip! *****A Lakeside Retreat to Soothe Your Soul***** A few years ago I partook in a walking quest that led me a whole 96 miles or so from the outskirts of Glasgow all the way through the Highlands to Fort William, in the shadow of Ben Nevis.

It also has 38 islands and pleasure cruises run from Luss, Tarbert and Balloch. My partner and I have been up to The Isle of Skye on two occasions and each time we have broken our journey in Luss on the shores of Loch Lomond. This is the little village of stone cottages where Take The High Road is filmed. I’m afraid that didn’t actually mean a lot to me as I don’t watch ...
