Loch Lomond And Ben Lomond Dedicated walkers and hardcore hikers will love Loch Lomond and Ben Lomond. So much so, they may find the song ‘The Bonnie Banks O’ Loch Lomond’ running through their mind as they walk. A great pride and joy of Scotland, Loch Lomond is both otherworldly and breathtaking with its many islands (over 30). In Gaelic, it means ‘Lake of the Elms’. Next to Loch Lomond’s southern shore, Ben Lomond is a hiker’s playground. Those in for a more arduous climb can take the Ptarmigan Ridge route or the way coming from Gleann Dubh. Beginner adrenaline junkies can ease their way in with the tourist’s route, which still has its fair share of hiking challenges.

Food scene

This is my favourite place to eat in Glasgow. It’s a fish restaurant and serves the best fish around. Solid, honest, simple food. It is quite small so be sure to book well in advance. You can sit at the unreserved bar area if you prefer (no booking required for bar seat)

Fairly new trendy place to go. Asian fusion mixed with best tastes from around the world. Small plates and I love them all!! Booking is not essential as they have a waiting area with a bar but the wait can be long. I suggest you book first.
