Balmaha and Loch Lomond

About trip

Thr wonderfully accessible island of lnchcailloch makes the perfect destination for a walking adventure.

The wooded island is easily reached via a short boat trip from Balmaha. There are three short (1 km) but delightfiil walking routes to choose from. The Low Path is a gentle woodland wall: with a few slopes and steps. These oaklands were planted some 200 years ago and played a vital historical role producing tannin, whidt was used to soften the leather belts that drove the Industrial Revolution.You'll also pass the remains of farm buildings and a graveyard and church. The Summit Path is more strenuous with a steep climb to the top of the island. You are, however,
rewarded for your efforts with fantastic views of both Highland and
Lowland landscapes, as well as Loch Lomond and its other islands. A third walk, the Central Path, links the North Pier to Port Bawn.
