Out and About
Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park straddle the highland boundary fault between the lowlands and highlands of Scotland.

Some consider Loch Lomond the jewel of the National Park. Loch Lomond is the largest body of inland water in the United Kingdom, covering over 27 square miles.

It is 23 miles long, the second longest to Loch Ness and at 623ft, the third deepest after Loch Morar and Loch Ness.

Before the thirteenth century it was known as Loch leven or Levand from the vale of the river Leven, the only outlet from Balloch in the south to Dumbarton on the Clyde.

The southern end of the loch is only four miles from tidal waters, and the northern end just less than two miles from the sea loch in Loch Long at Arrochar.

Tarbet is situated about half way up the loch. It was here that the Vikings dragged their longboats from Arrochar on Loch Long to raid havoc on Loch Lomond in the 13th century. Queen Victoria called Tarbet ‘a small town', which is not strictly accurate for this scattered community, but rightly said it had ‘splendid passes, richly wooded, and the highest mountains rising behind'.

On the hills above Tarbet are the ruins of a village, Clachan Dubh (Black Village) that was wiped out by the plague in medieval times.

From the village you can leisurely walk for miles along the old A82 which follows the shore line and is away from the busy road. There are several forest walks close by the house or if you are more energetic and like hill climbing the area offers you plenty of Munroe's (mountains which are over 3000ft).

The mountains to the north and west of Arrochar at the head of Loch Long are among the best known and most popular. They are called the Arrochar Alps. The main peaks are Benn Ime (1011m), Ben Narnain (926m), The Cobbler (Ben Arthur) (881m), Ben Vane (916m) and Ben Vorlich (south 943m north 931m).

The Cobbler is very popular, although not the highest, the views from the top are fantastic. All our bedroom overlook Ben Lomond which is 974m.

In the heart of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, activities such as walking, climbing, golf, mountain biking, horse riding, fishing, sailing, and various other watersports are closeby.

We look forwarded to welcoming you at the world famous Loch Lomond.
