Herb Riddle's photos with the keyword: Ben-Lomond

A view of this most beloved of mountains on the banks of Loch Lomond. This was taken from the small pier at Rawadennan on the North Eastern side of this very large loch. Ben Lomond at 974 metres (3195ft) is one of the most familiar of the Munros (mountains over 3000 ft high) in Scotland. It is the most southerly and is also one of the most popular hill-walks in Scotland. The mountain is a central, prominent feature of the landscape of Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park. Enjoy full size.

As I looked down the stretch of Loch Lomond from my seat, just behind me, and here is another equally stunning view. This is the north face of Scotland's second most famous mountain: Ben Lomond at 974 metres (3195ft) and is one of the most familiar of the Munros (mountains over 3000 ft high) in Scotland. It is the most southerly and is also one of the most popular hill-walks in Scotland. PiPs Enjoy full size.

As Ukraine sees devastation growing by the day we are reminded of the good things in life here. We are just north of the village and our path will take us past the building you see which is the Youth Hostel. The star of the show though is Ben Lomond itself with a nice white summit on this day after a cold wet night. Too cold with a biting wind for us to sit on the bench but a grand view all the same. The PiP show the memorial, just a short distance away from us here. Best viewed full size.

A sister view to yesterdays posting, which is interesting to compare. A scene here worthy of a painting, for sure. This boat must have some history and later, pulled to this spot by a local photographer maybe :) For me – this photo alone was worth the whole trip. After this day, we would see Ben Lomond capped in white after night snowfalls. Ben Lomond at 974 metres (3195ft) is one of the most familiar of the Munros (mountains over 3000 ft high) in Scotland. It is the most southerly and is also one of the most popular hill-walks in Scotland. The mountain is a central, prominent feature of the landscape of Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park.

A classic scene looking up Loch Ard towards The Narrows, in what is sometimes called Little Loch Ard towards perhaps Scotland’s most famous mountain after Ben Nevis. On seeing this scene, my heart began to beat faster, as it represents so much of the classic landscape photograph. Enjoy full size.

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.
