Town: Known as the gateway to the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, our nearest town,Balloch, sits at the south end of Loch Lomond and is on the main road connecting Glasgow to the Western Highlands.  Its popularity as a tourist town grew in the 19th century with the increasing number of boats arriving to tour the Loch, as well as foot passengers by rail from Glasgow.  Today there are many boats that will tour the loch from Balloch.  The elegant paddle steamer, The Maid of the Loch, is currently under renovation near Balloch pier. The Loch Lomond Shores shopping complex has a wide range of outlets and cafes and there is a Sea Life Centre.  Balloch Castle Country Park has 200 acres of woodland.  As well as the majestic loch, the surrounding scenery includes superb walking and cycling and Ben Lomond, at 3196 feet (974 m), is the most southerly of the Munros.  Glasgow and Stirling are both within easy reach and provide a great day trip whether it’s to see castles, galleries or to indulge in superb shopping and dining.
