There is no shortage of incredible locations throughout Scotland just waiting to be explored, and here at Voyaging Herbivore, we have a particular soft spot for Loch Lomond.
While Loch Ness may be the most famous (and mysterious!) loch in the Scottish region, Loch Lomond is arguably one of the most beautiful. It also happens to be adjacent to the exceptionally scenic Trossachs National Park.
Lovers of all things outdoorsy would be foolish not to pop this magical location onto their bucket list, and so, with that in mind, we look at the best Loch Lomond accommodation for your visit!
