From a tourist perspective, the western shore in Scotland is very developed, while the eastern shore remains almost untouched, an ideal destination for solitary and romantic travelers.
Dotted with as many as 33 islands, its basin is included in the Loch Lomond Regional Park. Among the most characteristic and well-equipped villages for boat tours and excursions are Luss, Balloch, and Balmaha.
Heading east, one can discover a very quaint Scotland, with places where the novelist Walter Scott set the deeds of the popular hero Rob Roy Mac Gregor (a sort of Robin Hood in the clan struggles): Drymen, Callander, and the spectacular Trossachs, the wild wooded heights that separate Loch Kathrine from Lake of Menteith, from where, via the A873, you can reach Stirling, the capital of Central Scotland and a lively university town.
The magnificent castle, perched on a scenic cliff, earned it the title of “Little Edinburgh”; here, in 1542, at just 6 days old, infant Mary Stuart was crowned Queen of Scotland.
, Loch Lomond is one of the most beloved and picturesque corners of Central Scotland and, by size, the largest lake in Great Britain.){kind=link}
