The Maid of the Loch, by the world-famous Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond at Balloch Pier, is the last paddle steamer built in Britain. It is the last in a long line of paddle steamers on the loch, dating back to 1818.

Moored on the shores of Loch Lomond the Maid of the Loch and the surrounding area offers a great day out for all the family.

In addition to the main attractions - the historic ship and the steam slipway - you can explore everything that the locale has on offer at nearby Loch Lomond Shores, including the aquarium, sandy beaches, BBQ and picnic areas, bike hire, boat trips, fun fair, woodland walks and plenty of Loch Lomond shopping.

The Maid is free to visit.
