Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park - Welcome

Loch Lomond

Loch Lomond is the largest body of freshwater in mainland Britain. It has been used by generations of Scots and visitors for boating, water skiing, bathing and other less active pleasures such as picnicking or just enjoying the unique atmosphere and scenery.
Loch Lomond is enjoyed by a variety of users, we ask that you show consideration of others and respect for your surrounding environment. Firstly our priority is your enjoyment of this beautiful part of Scotland, however you must act responsibly, stay safe and understand the Loch Lomond Byelaws.
Loch Lomond is a special place for people and nature. Please take your litter home and be aware of others – don’t let your enjoyment of the loch spoil it for other people.
