Loch Lomond cruise from Balloch

29 April 2026

A fine, sunny, day so what better to do than go to Loch Lomond for a short cruise with Sweeney's cruises. First time doing this, I have previously stuck with climbing hills when visiting the area. Now that illness has deprived me of the ability to do that I am finding new things to do that continue to get me out into the countryside. This company have a number of boats with open deck and inside seating areas; I spent most of the time on the open deck although the wind was a bit cold when we left the river and headed into the loch proper.....

 

The route followed the west side of the loch passing some large houses and then the Cameron House Hotel as far as Inchmurrin Island before returning down the east side. Good views of the Luss Hills with Ben Lomond in the distance......

Enjoyable!
