Discover Loch Lomond & the Trossachs
Loch Lomond marks the meeting point between Scotland’s Lowlands and Highlands, where tranquil waters, wooded shores and mountain views create one of the country’s most distinctive landscapes.
From the conservation village of Luss to the open water of the loch and the forested hills of the Trossachs, the area combines classic Scottish scenery with easy access from Glasgow and the west coast.
Loch cruises, shoreline walks, historic villages and wildlife make this a rewarding place to explore at a relaxed pace.
Loch Lomond also features on several of our small-group tours from Edinburgh, Glasgow and Greenock, including day tours, shore excursions and selected multi-day Highland journeys.

The Trossachs & Highland Gateway
Loch Lomond sits where Scotland’s Lowlands meet the rising Highlands, with the forested hills and scenic roads of the Trossachs lying just beyond its eastern shores. This landscape has long inspired writers and travellers and forms one of Scotland’s classic gateways to the Highlands.

From gentle shoreline paths to woodland trails and elevated viewpoints, Loch Lomond offers plenty of opportunities to explore on foot. Red deer, ospreys, red squirrels and a wide variety of woodland and water birds can all be found across the wider national park.
