Loch Lomond National Nature Reserve

Loch Lomond National Nature Reserve spans 430 hectares of woodlands, wetlands, and islands around Britain's largest freshwater lake in Stirling and West Dunbartonshire.

The designation of Loch Lomond as a protected area began in 1958 with Clairinsh, gradually expanding to include additional territories and conservation zones.

Inchcailloch Island contains remnants of a thirteenth-century church, reflecting the religious and settlement patterns of medieval Scottish communities.

Visitors can access the reserve through multiple entry points, with ferry services operating to Inchcailloch Island and marked trails leading through various habitats.

The reserve harbors 400 vascular plant species, representing one-quarter of Britain's total plant diversity, including rare specimens like elongated sedge and cowbane.
