Loch Lomond: The Queen of Scottish Lakes

Scotland also has its own lake district, which includes the magnificent Loch Lomond. Loch Lomond, dubbed "The Queen of Scottish Lakes" by writer Walter Scott, is a short 30-minute drive from Glasgow and provides a variety of romantic activities.

The lake's trout and salmon are frequently included on the menus of the best restaurants in the area, attracting outdoor enthusiasts who also enjoy activities like mountain biking and hiking. The Western Highland Way and Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park both contain some of the best trails. On Ben Lomond, rock climbing is also popular, as are water sports like kayaking. Those who prefer more laid-back activities can take in the breathtaking landscape while relaxing on one of the many boats that cruise the waters or, for that matter, while relaxing in their room or suite. The best hotels and resorts on the lake have these sorts of views, so it's not difficult to enjoy them.
