Loch Lomond and the Trossachs by Motorhome
Loch Lomond
Loch Lomond is the largest inland expanse of water in Britain
It has the advantage of being large and the safety of being enclosed
Without the disadvantages of tides large swells or navigational problems
It provides areas sheltered enough for ski-ing but open enough for sailing
The southern end has many islands to explore and lots of sheltered anchorages
The northern end in contrast provides long stretches of deep and open water
The Loch is suitable for any vessel including canoes
The Lady of the Lake
“The stag at eve had drunk his fill
Where danced the moon on Monan’s rill
And deep his midnight lair had made
In lone Glenartney’s hazel shade
But when the sun his beacon red
Had kindled on Benvoirlich’s head
The deep-mouthed bloodhound’s heavy bay
Resounded up the rocky way
And faint, from farther distance borne
Were heard the clanging hoof and horn”
