A Walk around the Village of Luss, Loch Lomond, Scotland

If you are heading north up the A82 towards Glen Coe and Fort William, it’s worth pausing at Luss to stretch your legs.

Join me for a 1 mile walk through the village down to Loch Lomond and then passing the church and beside the babbling river. The village of Luss Built in the early 19th century to house workers from the local slate quarry, Luss is considered a model village and has been described as ‘the most beautiful village in Scotland’. You may recognise it from the 1980’s tv show ‘take the high road’. Take a stroll down the street to Loch Lomond and sit on the shore and soak up the stunning scenery.

Loch Lomond

Loch Lomond is the largest freshwater lake in Britain, it’s 24 miles long and 600ft deep at its deepest point near Tarbet. During the last ice age the loch was a glacier heading down the valley and then fanning out with the rocks and islands at its southern end formed by terminal moraine as the ice retreated.

The Church

This is an ancient site and a church has stood here since 510AD, the current church dates from 1875 built by Sir James Colquhoun in memory of his father who drowned, the church roof resembles an up turned boat. Hope you enjoy the video and it inspires you to pay a visit.
