Loch Lomond today

Thank you, Marydoll, we have much to be thankful for.?

I'm a wee bit nervous about the flight TBH, but it was a gift from the family so I'll feel the fear and do it anyway! DH is really looking forward to it, he enjoys landscape photography. It'll do him a power of good after being ill.

There is no trespass law here but people who move here often believe that as they bought the property they can decide who walks across it.Because this used to be a Youth Hostel literally millions of feet have walked around that land and many will want to revisit it now.
I have no problem with a zone near the house being out of bounds but its not on to stop or try to stop teh right to roam .

Beautiful photo.

I don’t know why, maybe just because it’s ‘up that way’ my first thought when I saw the title was of the awful tragic shootings on the Isle of Skye and over in Dornie, Kyle. Yes, I know it’s 3 hours away by road. It’s just how my mind worked.

Granmarie, you are brave! Glad to hear your husband is on the mend.

So beautiful. I do miss my holidays in Scotland.

We're still looking forward to our sea plane trip from Cameron House. It was cancelled due to the weather when we stayed at Duck Bay for DH's 70th. Then DH was seriously ill, but now he is on the mend we can reschedule. So looking forward to the wonderful views over the Loch, and beyond. Such a beautiful area.

paddyann54, I'm puzzles that a landowner is putting up 'no trespass' signs. I was under the impression that there was now no trespass law in Scotland. Surely he shouldn't be getting away with this officious behaviour.

Thank you for the beautiful photo, it brings back wonderful memories of a family wedding held at what was previously a youth hostel on the banks of Loch Lomond.

If that was Rowardennan Overthemoongran it is still there. Just last week we picked up a DNA cousin and family at Balmaha and dropped them off at Rowardennan on their West Highland Way treck. It looked lovely, nestled under the Ben.

I stayed in that youth hostel, but Ardgartan was even better, stunning views. I used to watch the train to Oban clinging to the hillside and dream of being on it.
I did eventually manage it, just before lockdown on a steam train from Glasgow to Fort William and back! !

Might have been Auchendennan at Duck Bay ,it was used as the big house in Take The High Road ,Sadly now owned by a man who sticks no trespass signs all around it!

I also thought there was going to be no water there. Pleased to see the opposite is true

The West of Scotland is not short of water avitor1. The hills are green and the waterfalls still flowing.
Come for a visit, we'd love to see you.

Lovely shotESPEE Being a local and biased I dont think its possible to take a bad picture of the Loch.It looks beautiful in all weather conditions.
It my favourite place on earth,we were married in Luss 47 years ago and as a teen I would jump on the Luss bus round the corner from our house with a book and a cold drink and sit on the shore for hours.Its a lot more commerialised now but no less beautiful .

Beautiful. It looks like a sort of picture which could win a photographic competition.

Beautiful Esspee reminds me of happy trips to Killin.

Broadband reception is bitty on the water Marydoll.
Thought the photo would make gransnet members feel cool.

That’s so serene.

Espee, I knew right away it was you, when I saw the title.
I haven't seen you posting and wondered if all was well with you.

This morning Alexa told me thatt it was foggy in Glasgow, when we actaully had bright sunshine. She must have mistakenly thought that she was in Loch Lomond. ?

That's so beautiful. Our local reservoir looks very depleted.

Looks so cool, calm and serene. Wish I was there right now instead of in this heat!

Yes, beautiful Esspee.

Oh phew. My first thought was ‘no water in it’!

Beautiful.
