The Trossachs: Loch Ard with Ben Lomond.

A cool windy spot gives us our first real glance of the most famous mountain in this part of Scotland. Our walk continues on around part of the loch before a deserved picnic stop.
This is quite a big Loch, the closest point to us in Aberfoye is just around two miles away. It has a shore length of 11.8km (7.3miles) and has an average depth of 13 m (44ft). The outflow of this is actually the start of the River Forth, yes the same river that makes the ‘Firth of Forth’ at Edinburgh.
(More on Ben Lomond later)
Enjoy full size.
