An Ceann Mòr: Inveruglas

‘An Ceann Mòr’ at Inveruglas on the banks of Loch Lomond is the final installation of the first phase of the Scottish Scenic Routes pilot project.

Due to important repair works being performed on the Pyramid, it is currently closed to the public.
Work at Inveruglas toilet facilities will start this Monday 19th May for around 12 weeks. While this essential upgrade work is being carried out, car parking will be very limited.
If you do visit this site and the car park is full, please consider an alternative location to visit, such as Tarbet, Arrochar or Luss. Verge parking and blocking access is illegal and could impact on emergency services reaching this important extraction site.
While the toilets are closed, temporary facilities will be in place.

 

The journey to the view point starts in the visitor centre car park, following a new accessible path through the trees and then through the new structure where the panoramic view is then revealed. Visitors can then climb up to the top of the viewpoint, sit and take in the stunning elevated views of Loch Lomond and the surrounding mountains. At eight metres high, pyramid-shaped An Ceann Mòr is set to be the focus of many selfies!

There are 31 steps to the top, providing an elevated vista of the views across Loch Lomond.

The viewpoint was officially unveiled by Richard Lochhead MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs, Food and the Environment on 13 May 2015. Designed by young architectural practice, BTE, An Ceann Mòr has been designed to the highest standards of accessibility and sustainability with people who have limited mobility able to venture through the “tunnel” to be presented with spectacular views of the Arrochar Alps in the west across Loch Lomond to Ben Lomond in the middle distance.
