Sightseeing

Key attractions include Loch Lomond Shores shopping complex, the Sea Life Aquarium and Balloch Castle Country Park. The oak woodlands around the loch are as ancient as time itself and home to wildlife including red deer and pine martens.

Pet Friendly

While our dog is perfectly happy walking the same route like a million times,  it doens’t hurt to give them a bit of a holiday. And they’ll love Loch Lomond. The endless walking trails means they can sniff, pee and run until they’re hearts are content. Many self catering lodges welcome dogs with some even providing dog beds and treats.

The Loch Lomond Arms Hotel in Luss has a dog-friendly bar area where you can grab lunch after walkies and their beer garden is the perfect spot for pet owners too.

Balloch Country Park offers 200 acres of woodland paths and open grass areas where dogs can zoom about freely. (Just keep them on leads near the formal gardens and children’s play areas).

Top tip: The Queen of the Loch pub by Marston’s Inn welcomes dogs in their bar area and has water bowls available. They do a decent Sunday roast too!

Top 5 attractions you have to see at Loch Lomond

1. Loch Lomond Shores – This waterfront complex in Balloch combines shopping with eating and activities. The TreeZone aerial adventure course will have you swinging through the trees like Tarzan ...only with better safety equipment. Open daily 10am-6pm.

2. Inchcailloch Island – Take a small ferry from Balmaha and explore this uninhabited island. The ancient woodland here dates back to the last ice age!

3. Luss Village – This conservation village has rows of pretty cottages with flower-filled gardens. The beach offers stunning views across to Ben Lomond. Featured in the TV show ‘Take the High Road’ it’s now swamped with tourists in summer but worth it for the views. The pier offers boat trips around the loch.

4. Glengoyne Distillery – Located at the foot of Dumgoyne Hill this distillery offers tours and tastings. They claim to be the slowest distillery in Scotland which makes for better whisky apparently. Their 18-year-old single malt will knock your socks off. Tours run hourly from 10am-4pm.

5. Conic Hill – This relatively easy hill walk offers views that’ll make your Instagram followers sick with jealousy. The path from Balmaha car park takes about 90 minutes up and down. You can see the Highland Boundary Fault Line from the top which divides the Highlands from the Lowlands.

Loch Lomond FAQs

When’s the best time to visit Loch Lomond?
May to September offers the best weather but July and August are heaving with tourists. Consider May or September for decent weather without the crowds. Don’t avoid colder months though – Your hot tub will be just as good whatever the weather though and the prices will be a ‘wee bit’ cheaper!

Do I need a car in Loch Lomond?
Realistically, yes. While there are trains to Balloch public transport around the loch is limited. Many of the best log cabins and holiday lodges are in remote spots.

Is Loch Lomond any good for kids?
Absolutely! The area is packed with adventure and the The Sea Life Centre, TreeZone and watersports will give them plenty to do. Many accommodations have play areas and safe beaches around the loch too.

How deep is Loch Lomond?
The loch plunges to 190 metres (620 feet) at its deepest northern point – that’s deep enough to hide a 60-storey building! Thankfully no monsters have been spotted yet, though locals whisper about their own “Morag” sightings.

Can you swim in Loch Lomond?
Yes but it’s bloody freezing even in summer! Averaging just 10°C. Over 30,000 ‘Munro-baggers’ cool off here after climbing Ben Lomond though. Stick to designated swimming areas, check local advice, then warm up in your hot tub! If you’re doing watersports, they’ll likely provide wet suits so you won’t feel the nip.

Are there midges at Loch Lomond?
Yes from May to September (worst at dawn and dusk, especially near the 30+ islands). They’re particularly vicious around the wooded areas. Bring repellent… They can’t get you in your hot tub!

Can I bring my dog on a boat trip?
Some operators like Sweeney’s Cruises allow well-behaved dogs on board. The historic Steamship Sir Walter Scott celebrating its 125th year in 2025 also welcomes four-legged passengers. Check when booking as policies vary!

Is wild camping allowed?
Restricted between March and September in the east shore camping management zone – you’ll need permits for the busiest spots. With 720 square miles of National Park to explore. Its a great idea to take your tent to the lodge though, and give it a go for a night!
