Ducks on Loch Lomond

Highlight • Lake

People come to feed ducks here as well as seagulls. The ducks are so used to people that you can stand next to them and they do not even flinch. Feel free to bring bread. 😊

Tip by

3.64 km

Balloch Castle Country Park affords wonderful views over Loch Lomond. The park comprises 200 acres (80 ha) of semi-rural ornamental woodland, parks, gardens, meadows, and shoreline. The castle itself is closed but still a fine building to admire.
