Parque nacional Lago Lomond y los Trossachs (Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park)
El Parque Nacional Lago Lomond y los Trossachs (en inglés, Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park; en gaélico escocés, Pàirc Nàiseanta Loch Laomainn is nan Tròisichean) es un parque nacional en Escocia, centrado en el lago Lomond, que incluye varias cadenas montañosas, siendo las más famosa la de los Trossachs. Fue el primero de los dos parques nacionales creados por el Parlamento Escocés en el año 2002, siendo el segundo de ellos el Parque Nacional Cairngorms.
El parque es el cuarto por tamaño en las Islas Británicas, con una superficie total de 1.865 km² y un límite de alrededor de 350 km de largo. Incluye 21 munros (entre ellos Ben Lomond, Ben Lui, Beinn Challuim, Ben More y otros dos picos llamados Ben Vorlich), 20 corbetts, dos parques forestales y 57 lugares consideradas zonas de Especial Conservación.
El lago Lomond es el lago de agua dulce más grande de Gran Bretaña. Va desde las tierras bajas, más llanas, hasta las auténticas Tierras Altas al norte, zona montañosa. Hay un agudo contraste desde la parte superior a la inferior. La Falla de las Highlands cruza las primeras escasas islas (incluyendo Inchmurrin y Inchcailloch) y Conic Hill. Ben Lomond y Ben Vorlich son algunas de las famosas cumbres de la zona. Hay un campo de golf en el lago Lomond en el que se celebra el Torneo Abierto Escocés Barclays.
Los Trossachs son conocidos como la tierra de Rob Roy MacGregor o la tierra romántica y encantada. Es una zona pequeña, como un círculo, con la mitad en las Tierras Altas y la otra en las Tierras Bajas. Callander y Aberfoyle son las dos ciudades principales. En el lago Menteith destaca la mayor de sus islas, Inchmahome, en la que está "Inchmahome Priory", un antiguo monasterio, que sirvió de refugio a María Estuardo en 1547. Loch Katrine, con el barco de vapor de palas de Sir Walter Scott o la Dama del Lago está aquí. Se puede llegar al lago Katrine a través de la carretera de Inversnaid o la de Brig o' Turk. El barco a vapor recibe su nombre de Sir Walter Scott, autor del poema épico "La dama del lago".

National Parks Authorities and people of Scotland have preserved this most picturesque natural beauty of Mother Nature. Within the park are very pleasing people and their villages. Scottish people are very very special. The Highlands and Forests of Trossachs are Divinely for Yogis & Yoginis and natural beauty lovers. However, one should go prepared as these are Forests in the mortal world. Be prepared for Midges and carry a First Aid kit. 🙏🙏🧘🏻♂️🧘♀️🌄⛰🦚🕉🕉🕉🦚⛰🌄🧘♀️🧘🏻♂️🙏🙏

Truly one of the most beautiful places visited. Loch Lomond is a sizeable area so review based on Conic Hill climb in Balmaha. Trek to the top will take 45-60mins...lots of steps, however on a good day view is awesome. Take a beer/wine to celebrate the feat. Brilliant

These pictures were based around the falls of Falloch, Balloch and a large stone with religious ornaments and charms on it not far from the falls of Falloch. Both are beautiful areas. Balloch can be reached easily by train to balloch Station and you can reach falls of Falloch by car. The way to these beautiful waterfalls is great and it is just as good in all weather. If your visiting in the summer and like a cold water dip the post here are really good and highly recommended for it. A great day out for family and friends and highly recommended.

Love walking trails 👣 with amazing scenery There are many things to do in Loch Lomond, and it is a popular weekend destination for locals from Glasgow and Edinburgh in search of nature and outdoor activities. Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park was Scotland’s first national park, designated in 2002. The national park contains a diverse geography that includes 21 munros (Scottish mountains), two forest parks, 22 lochs, and over 50 designated special nature conservation sites that are home to a variety of wildlife. Loch Lomond itself is the largest inland stretch of water in Great Britain by surface area. Visitors can go cruising on a lake in a historic steamship, rent a canoe or kayak, spend a day visiting small villages, see Rob Roy’s gravestone, have fun at an aerial adventure park, or go climbing or biking. If you enjoy hiking, there are a number of short and moderate hiking paths to enjoy here, and a few of Scotland’s popular long distance paths such as the West Highland Way and The Three Lochs Way run through here.

Awesome place for a hike, been to Ben Arthur's peak. Climb became a bit challenging closer to he too, but definitely with it.
