Combining cycling with public transport

Waterbus

On both Loch Lomond and Loch Katrine, cruise operators provide shore-to-shore waterbus journeys as well as cruises, allowing you to combine your cycling trip with a bit of loch cruising.

From Tarbet on the A82, you can take the waterbus to Inversnaid and cycle along Loch Arklet up to Loch Katrine. Or from Balloch, you can combine the waterbus to and from Luss with cycling along the West Loch Lomond Cycle Path.
