Loch Lomond, Argyll

Loch Lomond is the largest inland water body in the UK with an area of 27.4 square miles and a shoreline length of 96 miles. The total length is 24 miles extending from Ardlui in the north to Balloch in the south. In the north the loch is relatively narrow but it widens in the south where many of its 38 islands can be found.
Loch Lomond is a major tourist attraction due to its closeness to the major population centres of central Scotland and it is now part of Scotland's first National Park, the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, which covers an area of 720 square miles.
