Balloch The village of Balloch is at the beginning of Loch Lomond. With it's easy access to local transport it is great for those who like to shop. Glasgow is only 40 minutes by train, and the Vale of Leven also has good opportunities to buy gifts and take in the local sights. The train comes from Glasgow to Balloch, where regular pleasure cruises start from Luss, Balloch and Tarbet. Scotland`s most popular area of countryside took another large step forward when the Lottery Fun announced its support of over £1.8million for a four year programme of works to bring Balloch Castle Country Park back to its former grandeur. Plan of the new village square The area has so much to offer. Balloch Country Park is large and is were locals and tourists come for walks, to see Balloch Castle Country Public park which is on the southern shore of Loch Lomond. There are nature trails, guided walks, walled garden and picnic lawns with views of the Loch. The Castle was built in 1808, and contains visitor centre and toilets. Loch Lomond is a popular tourist attraction. 22.6 miles long, it is not the longest loch in Scotland (Lochs Awe and Ness are longer) but it is the largest expanse of fresh water in Britain. It is 5 miles wide at its broadest point and there are 30 islands, three of them inhabited. Ben Lomond, half way along its eastern side is just over 3,192 feet (973 metres) high. The Loch is crossed by the Highland Boundary Fault and exhibits the physical characteristics of both Highland and Lowland Scotland. Some 200 species of bird and over 25% of Britain's wild plants have been recorded in the area. A great base for all your touring Quick Journey Planner Tourist Information
