Unique holidays in the UK
If you’re planning your holidays in the UK this year and you’re looking for a unique destination, we have one for you! – Loch Lomond in Scotland. There is nowhere quite like it in the world. Let’s take a look at what makes Loch Lomond such a unique place to visit…
Diverse landscapes
Our region of Scotland lies on a geographical fault line, meaning we have an extremely diverse landscape. It’s the place where the Highlands meets the Lowlands. So you can experience towering mountains and rolling hills, dense woodlands and large open spaces.
Rare wildlife
With these diverse landscapes come a wide range of habitats, accommodating some amazing Scottish wildlife. Home to almost 200 species of birds, rare mammals like red squirrels and pine martens, and even whales and dolphins off the coast.
Easily accessible, but feels remote
Loch Lomond is easy to reach. Less than an hour’s drive or a short train journey from Glasgow. But once you get here, it feels completely different. Scenic, tranquil, a million miles from city life!
Part of Scotland’s first national park
As part of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, there are many miles of unspoilt and protected landscapes to explore here.
The largest lake by surface area in Great Britain
Loch Lomond itself holds the title of the largest lake by surface area in Great Britain, which is quite a sight to behold!
A unique set of islands and islets
Within Loch Lomond, there are 23 islands, plus several more islets. It’s possible to visit and explore some of the larger ones, such as Inchcailloch and Inchmurrin. Each has its unique characteristics. One island, Inchconnachan, has its own population of wallabies!
An extraordinary mix of things to do
This area has links to famous Scottish figures such as Mary, Queen of Scots, Rob Roy, William Wallace and Robert the Bruce, and there are so many historic landmarks to discover. But there are also beautiful natural sites for exploring, villages and towns for day trips and thrilling outdoor adventures to be had.
