Loch Lomond Park Centre

NileGuide Expert tip:

Bringing your camera or camcorder is highly recommended

Description:

• It may not be able to boast a famous monster, but this unique loch is Britain's largest inland body of water with an area of 71 sq km. There's a treat in store for nature-lovers as around 200 species of birds and over 25 per cent of the nation's wild plants have been recorded in the area. Inside the visitors' centre, the main exhibit presents lots of fascinating information about the landscape, wildlife and heritage, including relevant literary descriptions from august personages such as Queen Victoria and Boswell. Luss itself is worth a look once you've had your fill of natural beauty. A pretty estate village dating back to the 19th century, it's now famous as the setting for STV's rural soap High Road.
