The largest fresh water Loch in the country, Loch Lomond is one of the best known bodies of water in the world - largely due to the well known song, 'The Bonnie, Bonnie, Banks o' Loch Lomond' - a song of ill fated love from the days of 'Bonnie Prince Charlie'.
Balmaha on Loch Lomond East shore but this is not the only thing which brings visitors to the area - now part of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park National Park.

I enjoy organised walks as part of group but either my mates are just not into it or the ones that are can’t commit to any dates, so having Social Circle organise it all means I can just do it and have some fun in the process meeting some new people. Louise Timperly
