Advantages: Beauty, peace and quiet

Disadvantages: Maybe not enough to do if you have children?

I’ll take the road that brings me to the shores of Loch Lomond anytime. The scenery at this most tranquil place is absolutely breathtaking.
Loch Lomond is the largest loch in Scotland being 23 miles long and up to 5 miles wide and it is 630 feet deep at its deepest point. 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 the programme, but there it is anyway. The church dates from 1875 and has an ancient stone font and a medieval effigy of St Kessog.
We stayed in the Colquhoun Arms Hotel both times we visited Luss and it’s a place to be recommended. The rooms are very comfortable, en suite, with television, tea making etc and the cost in 2000 was £29 per person per night in early September. The Hotel has a restaurant and a bar where they sell pub meals. You need to be downstairs early to get a seat in the bar as it fills up very quickly, because the food is so good.
It is a short walk from here through the little village down to the shores of the loch where you can sit and admire the view. The only thing I would advise is anti midge spray especially if you’re going in the autumn. I’m sure those little monsters have teeth like crocodiles – it certainly feels that way!
