A brief history of Mary, Queen of Scots.

Born in 1542 and daughter of King James V of Scotland, Mary was not even a week old before she became Queen of Scotland after her father’s unexpected death. King Henry VIII wanted her to marry his own son to unite the kingdoms. This was rejected by the Scottish parliament.

As a result, Mary was put in danger and spent most of her early life in hiding. She was eventually being sent to France for safety. After becoming Queen of France for just two years, she returned to Scotland a widow at 18 years old.

Her reign in Scotland was turbulent. She fled to England for her own safety. But Queen Elizabeth I distrusted her as Mary, through her ancestry as Henry VII of England’s great-granddaughter, had a claim to the English throne.

After imprisonment for 19 years, Mary was eventually executed in Fotheringhay Castle in Northamptonshire in 1587. Today, her remains lie in Westminster Abbey in London, within a beautiful ornate tomb.

Mary’s local travels in Scotland

Whilst there is no record of Mary visiting Loch Lomond, she stayed for a while in a priory on nearby Lake of Menteith. It was here in Inchmahome Priory that she was sent for a few weeks in 1547 when she was only 4 years old. Although the priory is in ruins now, you are still able to visit by boat between the 1st April and the 1st November. 

Mary also stayed at Stirling Castle. Both as a child and after returning from France. The castle is only a 40 minute drive away, and is definitely worth a day out exploring.  The castle is significant in Mary’s history as it was where she was crowned, in the chapel royal, on the 9th September 1543. Stirling Castle was where she lived before travelling to Inchmahome Priory, and then shipping out to France. 

For those keen to travel a little further, you can visit Lintlithgow Palace, Mary’s birth place. Although now a roofless ruin, it is still and awe-inspiring building, especially with its strikingly modern “crown of thorns” spire.

History all around us

History permeates the Scottish landscape, especially around Loch Lomond and the Trossachs. And it’s not just Mary, Queen of Scots. From the vikings to Rob Roy and the stories of whisky smugglers, there’s always something to discover. Book your stay at Loch Lomond Waterfront today and begin your exploration of this fascinating part of the country. All safe in the knowledge you have a luxurious lodge or chalet to return to and enjoy a cosy night in. Check out our special offers and book your stay.

What is Burns Night?

Burns Night is all about celebrating the life of Robert Burns. The first Burns Supper took place in 1801, when his friends gathered to remember him, since then it’s become an annual tradition in Scotland. The night usually includes a special meal called the Burns Supper of haggis, neeps (turnips) and tatties (potatoes), along with reciting Burns poetry, especially the famous Address to a Haggis. Whisky is a big part of the night, with toasts and speeches to Robert Burns. At Loch Lomond Waterfront, you can enjoy your own Burns Supper in one of our comfortable lodges.

Separating truth from fiction

It is said that there are two Rob Roys in the world. There is the real person who lived between 1671 and 1734, and the fictionalised version made popular by, amongst others, Sir Walter Scott in his book ‘Rob Roy’. The fictionalised version holds a somewhat romantic view of a man forced into the criminal life in order to support his family. His time as an outlaw is not through choice, and he has a heart of gold. Liam Neeson portrayed this version of Rob Roy in the 1995 film of the same name. 

The truth may be a little bit more brutal. He was a man who was indeed not just a cattle rustler but also a fraudster, who aimed to swindle others out of their cash. In fairness, this was a reasonably common practice at the time, but for Rob Roy he made a powerful enemy in the Duke of Montrose. He had Rob Roy declared an outlaw, meaning he could be killed at will without any repercussions to the person who did it. Whilst he felt safe in hiding in the Highlands, he could never relax fully. 

Life near Loch Lomond

He actually owned much of the land near Ben Lomond for some time, and used the road which goes past Loch Lomond Waterfront for his stolen animals. Nearby is also Rob Roy’s Cave, which many say was where he hid during his time as an outlaw. Located by Inversnaid towards the north of Loch Lomond, the walk to it takes you along part of the West Highland Way. It can be a bit tricky at times, so make sure you plan your journey and wear appropriate footwear. 

He lived throughout a time when there was much turmoil in the UK thanks to disagreements over who should sit on the throne. MacGregor found himself balancing loyalties between the forces loyal to the government, and those wishing to overthrow it – the Jacobites. However, MacGregor’s focus was always on himself and ensuring his family’s safety. In this sense, the fictionalised and real versions of him combine. He never wholeheartedly supported one side over another, and throughout his life he seemed to work for both, depending on which served his own means the best. 

In the end, Rob Roy managed to live until he was 63. Before he died, he was pardoned and lived out the remainder of his life as a law abiding citizen, and also a devout Catholic. 

Walking in Rob Roy’s footsteps

All around us at Loch Lomond Waterfront are remnants of the times of Rob Roy’s life. Check out our Rob Roy sites & locations blog about the places you can visit to feel close to this Scots legend. The most visited site is surely Rob Roy’s grave in Balquhidder. Here you can step right up to his final resting place where he is alongside his wife and two sons.  

So if you fancy reliving the tale of Rob Roy MacGregor (without the cattle raiding) come and spend some time at Loch Lomond Waterfront and enjoy time living surrounded by the same scenic beauty of Scotland’s favourite outlaw. Check out our special offers here.

Christmas celebrations in Scotland

Christmas in Scotland is a joyful time filled with festive traditions, family gatherings and delicious food. Scots celebrate Christmas with as much enthusiasm as anywhere else. Homes are decorated with lights and Christmas trees. Traditional Scottish treats like shortbread and mince pies are popular, while Christmas markets and events bring a festive atmosphere to towns and cities across the country.

Christmas was banned for 400 years!

Did you know Christmas was once banned in Scotland? In the 1600s, the Scottish Parliament stopped all Christmas celebrations. They believed the holiday was too closely linked to Catholic traditions and a bit too rowdy! For nearly 400 years, Christmas wasn’t officially celebrated in Scotland and it wasn’t until 1958 that it became a public holiday again. Thankfully, things have changed and now Christmas is widely celebrated, just like in many other parts of the world.

Winter Solstice

Long before Christmas, the ancient Scots celebrated the winter solstice, marking the return of longer days. They would bring greenery like holly and ivy into their homes to symbolise life during the dark winter. Mistletoe was also important as it represented fertility. Today this tradition carries on with mistletoe hung in doorways, for people to share a kiss under it.

The Yule log

The Yule log is another tradition that dates back to Scotland’s winter solstice celebrations. Burning the Yule log in the fireplace symbolised bringing warmth and light back into the home during the darkest time of the year. Nowadays, the tradition has evolved and many Scots place candles in their windows during Christmas, continuing the idea of bringing light into their homes.

Burning Rowan

A unique Scottish Christmas tradition is burning a twig from the rowan tree. The rowan tree is thought to protect against evil spirits and burning a twig during Christmas helps clear away bad feelings and encourages harmony between family and friends.

Hogmanay is Scotland’s New Year celebration

As Christmas ends, the focus shifts to Hogmanay, Scotland’s famous New Year’s Eve celebration. Christmas and Hogmanay traditions are in Scotland’s history and Hogmanay is an exciting time filled with traditions.

First Footing

One of the most popular Hogmanay traditions is the First Footing. After midnight, the first person to enter your house is thought to bring good luck for the New Year. They often bring a gift like shortbread or whisky, symbolising good cheer for the year ahead.

Auld Lang Syne

Hogmanay wouldn’t be complete without a rendition of Auld Lang Syne. This famous song, written by Scotland’s poet Robert Burns, is sung at the stroke of midnight. Everyone joins hands to sing it, saying goodbye to the old year and welcoming the new one. It’s a tradition that’s loved not just in Scotland but all over the world.

Fire Rituals

Fire plays a big part in Hogmanay traditions. Torchlight processions, bonfires and fireworks are all used to welcome the New Year and drive away darkness. Many Scottish families also light their fireplaces on New Year’s Eve, creating a warm and cosy atmosphere as they gather to celebrate with loved ones.

Once Christmas is over and Hogmanay is done, it’s a good idea to have something to look forward to. That’s why taking a break in January or February is a great idea – especially somewhere beautiful and in warm, comfortable accommodation. Winter in Loch Lomond is a fantastic time of year to visit if you are looking for a peaceful escape, scenic walks.

Planning a break at Loch Lomond Waterfront at the start of the year means you don’t have to wait long to relax with friends and family in a beautiful setting. There are plenty of things to do around here at this time of year too.

Things to do at Loch Lomond this winter

Whether you are coming on a family break to Loch Lomond or with friends, there are plenty of activities to keep you busy. 

One of the most exciting things you can do here is a ride on a seaplane. Operating all year round, Loch Lomond Sea Planes let you see Scotland from above. Winter can be the best time of year to do this, as the air is often clear and the colours vibrant. Choose from flights over the west coast and the Isle of Bute, as well as views of Jura, Islay and Gigha. 

For something more ground-based, Loch Lomond Shores offers year-round activities. From shopping, food and drink to outdoor activities, this will keep you busy all day. It’s a super place to bring the kids when on holiday at Loch Lomond. It has a playpark, mini-golf as well as a Sea Life Centre. If the weather isn’t quite what you’d hoped for, visit here and it won’t matter. 

Look out for winter wildlife

Winter in Loch Lomond is a great time to spot wildlife, with many species making the most of the colder months. If you’re hiking in the mountains, you might be lucky enough to see a Ptarmigan or Arctic Hare, both of which turn white in winter to blend in with the snow. Down in the lower areas, red deer are more likely to be seen as they find food and you may even catch a glimpse of a native red squirrel, though they’re a bit less active in winter. Loch Lomond is also a hot spot for bird watching. The area provides a home to nearly 200 species of bird, so don’t forget your binoculars.

If you are short on time and want to make the most of what you have in Loch Lomond to spot wildlife, then get in touch with a safari company like Kestrel Wildlife Safaris. They can take you to the best spots to give you the best chance of seeing the animal of your choice. Local knowledge is crucial in this situation, as animals can move depending on the time, weather and where the best food is.

Capture beautiful photographs

The days are short at this time of year, but the light is just stunning. For anyone keen on photography, this is the time to come for those sunset shots. The air can also be crisp and clear, giving you views for miles. If you are looking to see the area covered in snow, January and February in Loch Lomond are good times to visit.

Of course, we can’t guarantee the weather, but if you are lucky then the snow-capped hills and mountains are beautiful. Snow on Ben Lomond makes a great photograph. Walking up the mountain when snowy is something we would only recommend to experienced hikers at this time of year, but the view from the top can be breathtaking.

Go stargazing and spot the Northern Lights

While spotting the Northern Lights isn’t always guaranteed, Loch Lomond is a great place to try and see them, especially in the winter when the nights are longer and darker. To improve your chances, visit one of the park’s ‘dark sky’ areas, where there’s little light from towns or cities. These spots let you see more stars and if you’re lucky, you might catch the beautiful colours of the Northern Lights lighting up the sky over Loch Lomond.

It’s also a good time to keep an eye open for meteor showers. The Quadrantids occur towards the end of December and start of January and are known for producing bright fireball meteors. The look as though they originate from the plough/big dipper constellation, and are at their peak usually in the first few days of the year. Here’s a list of dates for all meteor showers to look out for in the UK.

Enjoy the long nights together

The nights may be long, but that only means more time together in the warmth! We have plenty of pubs, bars and restaurants near us at Loch Lomond Waterfront. Most of the local villages have at least one pub and you will be made welcome there. We’ve highlighted some of our favourite eateries and pubs here, but don’t be afraid to go and find some yourself.

Over the festive period, you could see a Christmas show in one of the nearby towns. If you find yourself here on the 25th of January, it’s Burns Night when we celebrate our most famous poet, Robert Burns. Most places will offer a Burns Supper, which is haggis, neeps and tatties, washed down with a wee dram. Some places might even pipe the haggis in with bagpipes! Have a look at nearby restaurants to see what is on offer and experience this Scottish celebration. 

But if you just want to spend some time together inside, then when in Scotland, do as the Scottish do and enjoy a nip or dram of whisky. During the day, you could visit Loch Lomond Distillery and get a fascinating tour of how they make one of Scotland’s most popular drinks. See how their award-winning single malt, single grain and limited-edition whiskies come to life, and perhaps even buy from their shop. That means that when night falls, you can sit together in one of our hot tubs and enjoy the flavour of Scotland whilst keeping a watchful eye for a meteor shower or the Northern Lights. What a pefect way to end the day.

What are the Northern Lights?

The Northern Lights or aurora borealis are a natural light display that occurs near the Earth’s poles. They result from particles charged by the sun colliding with Earth’s upper atmosphere along magnetic lines, creating a colourful show in the sky with shades of green, purple and red. These auroras include the aurora borealis (Northern Lights) and the aurora australis (Southern Lights).

Chasing the Northern Lights

The Northern Lights are unpredictable but there are ways to increase your chances of seeing them. Check the aurora forecast on websites like AuroraWatch UK and SpaceWeatherLive, which provide real-time updates on aurora activity. Once you have a good forecast, make sure to wrap up warmly. The Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park can be very cold, especially during the winter months when the Northern Lights are most active. Layer up with a warm coat, hat, gloves and boots to stay cosy while waiting for the lights. Afterwards, you can warm up with a whisky in your lodge.

Finding the perfect location

To see the Northern Lights you need to find a dark location away from light pollution. Luckily for you, many of the skies above Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park are known as dark skies. There’s a higher chance of seeing the Northern Lights during the winter months when the nights are longer and darker. Winter is also the best time to go stargazing in Scotland when the nights are darker for longer. Between October and March, when the clocks go back for winter, is a good rule of thumb.

How to photograph the Northern Lights

Nighttime photography can be challenging, but capturing the Northern Lights is possible even with a mobile phone. Hold your phone in landscape mode, turn off the flash and select night mode. Make the picture as large as your phone allows and set the exposure time between 2 and 15 seconds.

Seeing the Northern Lights in Loch Lomond is a magical experience and staying at Loch Lomond Waterfront makes it even better. Our luxury waterside accommodations offer the perfect retreat after a night of aurora-watching. With plenty of pubs, bars and restaurants nearby, you’ll have everything you need for a fantastic holiday. Winter is the best time to enjoy our hot tubs, even though it’s cold outside, a warm bath of bubbles with a glass of fizz is just heaven. Check our availability and book your chalet or lodge today.
