Ben Lomond

Ben Lomond

Ben Lomond is Scotland’s most southerly Munro (a mountain over 3,000ft high) and one of the country’s most acclaimed landmarks. Much of the property is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest, because it holds remnants of the full range of upland plant communities, from low to high altitude. It also supports a tenant sheep farm, and is one of the most popular hill walks in Scotland. Getting There Bus: Bus transport is possible as far as Balmaha (from Glasgow via Drymen), 7 miles to the south. From there it is a 7-mile walk/cycle to Rowardennan. Alternatively, there are regular buses up the A82 on the west side of Loch Lomond. It is possible in the summer months to get the bus to Inverbeg and then get the passenger ferry across the loch. Cycle: Near NCN 7. By road north from Drymen, or cycles can be taken on the passenger ferry from Inverbeg. Train: The closest train station is Balloch to the south of Loch Lomond. Road: Take the Balmaha road north from Drymen (B837). Rowardennan is 12 miles north of Drymen. Ferry: Runs 3 times each day between Inverbeg and Rowardennan, April to September. Passenger only.
