Hi there, this picture was taken while decending Conic Hill on the eastern shore of Loch Lomond at the end of last year. It is a fantastic little climb which gives spectacular views over Loch Lomond & The Arrochar Alps. On a clear day it is possible to pinpoint Ben Lomond, Ben Vorlich, The Cobbler, Ben Ime and Ben Narnain etc.

Loch Lomond has the largest surface area of fresh water Loch in the UK. The Loch is 24 miles long and five miles wide and at its deepest point is some 600 feet deep.
On the Loch there are approximately 38 Islands, some of them inhabited and there is even a Hotel on one, Inchmurrin.

The Loch is crossed by the Highland Boundary Fault and exhibits the physical characteristics of both highland and Lowland Scotland. Some 200 species of birds and over 25% of Britain's wild plants have been recorded in the area.

Loch Lomond is now part of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. Ben Lomond is on the eastern shore: 974 m (3,195 ft) in height and the most southerly of the Scottish Munro peaks. A 2005 poll of Radio Times readers named Loch Lomond as the 6th greatest natural wonder in Britain.

Hope you like the picture, thank you for viewing!
