Islands, Bonnie Banks and the Highland Edge

Loch Lomond, northwest of Glasgow, is the largest lake in Great Britain by surface area. It lies in Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, created in 2002 as Scotland's first national park. The Highland Boundary Fault crosses its islands, dividing the Lowlands from the Highlands.

The loch holds more than 20 islands. Inchmurrin is the largest, and Inchconnachan was once home to wallabies brought there in the 1900s. Boat trips leave from Balloch at the southern end, while the village of Luss on the west shore charms visitors with stone cottages.

The folk song The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond, with its lines about the high road and the low road, made the loch famous. Ben Lomond, the most southerly Munro, rises above the east shore, where the West Highland Way follows the water north toward Fort William.
