On nice days, it's a great place to swim. If it gets colder, there's a sauna on the beach near the church.

Some shops and restaurants in Arrochar, but next to a busy road so take care.

Some shops and restaurants on the main drag in Arrochar, next to a busy road so take care.

Very nice, the small village

Tough but rewarding climb to top of dam.

Stunning views South out to Sea.

Many think that this statue of sacred joy was erected to commemorate a wee boy who drowned in the loch. That is actually a myth. Wee Peter was created by local stonemason William Kerr in 1890. He made it for someone’s garden but they didn’t like it and he placed it where it stands today.

Only problem is........it's not a lake!!!

Wee Peter statue, erected in 1890 near Luss by London stonemason William Kerr, who as a child lived in the village of Luss. The statue is also known as Kerrs Folly, as it was created for a client who did not accept the piece, so William Kerr had it erected in this small bay near Luss where he had been happy as a child. Local mis-knowledge sometimes has it that the statue was erected as a memorial to a drowned child.

Luss is a charming village on the shore of Loch Lomond, the largest and most scenic lake in Scotland. The village has a long and fascinating history that spans from the early medieval times to the present day.

place for the campervan and starting point for a hike

A fine spot for a fish supper.

Can be a busy tourist trap on a sunny day.

The colourful town of Tobermory was built as a fishing port in the late 18th century. It's the main town on the Isle of Mull and a popular spot for tourists.

Deep beneath Ben Cruachan is a massive pumped-storage hydroelectric power station, which generates power when water from the Cruachan Reservoir is released into Loch Awe. Built in 1965, it works in a similar way to the Dinorwig Power Station in Snowdonia, storing energy in periods of low demand and providing vast amounts when demand peaks. For example, If Scotland ever reach a World Cup, it'll be needed when everyone turns the kettle on during half time breaks – though there are obviously more realistic scenarios. You can walk along the edge of the dam, enjoying the views to the awesome horseshoe of mountain peaks above.

Nestled on the side of Loch Fyne, Inverary is a great base for cycling and hiking in Argyll. A couple of great hotels (Inveray inn and The George) and loads of good pubs. The seafood is first rate and the view of the loch is ever present.

Beautiful but boggy patg with constantly changing views. If you enjoy scrambling this is for you!
