Who doesn't burst into song when they hear the words 'Loch Lomond'! A must-do day trip destination from Glasgow, this beautiful lake is perhaps only beaten in fame by Loch Ness.
Take a drive around the leafy western shore, and notice how the northern stretches of Loch Lomond morph from lowland to more stark highland landscapes, overlooked by the lofty 974 m (3,195 ft) heights of Ben Lomond.
Around 30 islands dot the lake, and boating enthusiasts take to the water on weekends in kayaks, speedboats and windsurfers. On the southern shore you'll find the Loch Lomond Shores complex, with an aquarium, shops, and restaurants.

The trip was beautiful. I would definitely recommend it. Both Stirling Castle and Loch Lomond were breathtaking. Ewan, my tour guide, was very entertaining, knowledgeable, and personable. He added a lot to the overall experience. I will definitely go again when I come back for vacation.

Abosolutely amazing! I chose this tour first because I wanted to go to Stirling Castle so badly. I wish we had gone to Wallace Monument and spend some time there as well. Loved it so much!
The site mentioned a discount card for attractions, restaurants and shops but we never received it! But we did pay less to go to Stirling.
Loch Lomond: I didn't go on the cruise but I didn't have to! I ebjoyed the beautiful landscape from land. Absolutely amazing and well worth it!
