Day 6: Loch Lomond Day - and you certainly need at least a day to discover all the wonderful places on and around Loch Lomond! Our first stop was the Lake of Menteith (Scotland's only lake). It's a very serene place, very quiet, very still and extremely eerie. There was a lone fisherman on the lake (on his mobile phone and I could hear every word!!). We then stopped off at Balmaha where we parked up and wandered down to the waters edge. Balloch was our next port of call and Loch Lomond Shores (a strange places to have a 'designer shopping village' if you ask me?!). On the way round the loch we came across a little bay called Duck Bay. The hotel there, which sits right on the water's edge, was being totally refurbished ready for summer opening - it looked like it would be a fabulous place to stay. The little village of Luss was the next place we visited (Take the High Road - Scottish soap opera - was filmed there some years ago). It was a pretty little village (all the gardens were very well kept), which also had a small pier on the edge of the loch. It tipped with rain whilst we were there! Next stop was lunch (did we do anything other than eat on this holiday?!). We managed to find a little cafe/restaurant right on the loch near Tarbet. We watched the jet skiers as we ate our lunch, sat outside in the sunshine! After lunch we headed for Killin and the Falls of Dochart.
