Lochs of Scotland

Lochs of Scotland showcases more than 50 of the most popular, interesting and beautiful lochs, and is a perfect guide for anyone visiting or exploring Scotland, or wanting to find out about these iconic and breathtaking locations.

Featuring in this guide:

• The famous Loch Ness and Loch Lomond
• Loch Fyne (which boasts a superb oyster bar, and where red squirrels were first reintroduced to Scotland in 1847)
• The long Loch Long (20km and the straightest in Scotland, being formed by glacier)
• The fjord-like Loch Goil (with its very superior treehouse accommodation overlooking the water)
• Scotland’s oldest inhabited castle at Loch Sween
• The stunning Loch Awe (with its less attractive legend of the goddess who created it being punished by being transformed into an immortal hag)
• Loch Linnhe (with the stunning railway line alongside it, used for the filming of Harry Potter’s Hogwart’s Express)
• Loch Nevis (Europe’s deepest sea loch)

Each chapter is beautifully illustrated with lovely colour photography, as well as absorbing text on the landscape, wildlife, history, folklore and nearby attractions. There’s a map of each loch, and information on the best places to hire canoes and kayaks, where to eat and where to camp or stay.

Fabulous for walkers and wonderful territory for all kinds of boaters, this is the first guide devoted to Scotland’s amazing lochs.
