Swan Isle (Inchgalbraith) Crannog and Inchtavannach Island

Highlight • Historical Site

Swan Isle or Inchgalbraith Isle, which lies in the bay off Aldochlay just south of Luss on Loch Lomondside, is a crannog and one of the earliest examples of human settlement, dating from around 3000BC. The ruins of Inchgalbraith Castle are to be found here. The island and castle belonged to the Galbraiths of Bandry.

Inchtavannach Island, also known as The Monk’s Island, is one of the larger islands that lie within Loch Lomond.

Facing the settlement of Aldochlay and being separated from the mainland by a small Bandry Bay just south of Luss, this is one of the most accessible islands on the loch.

The island was once the site of a monastery giving rise to its alternative name of Monk’s Isle. Its rocky northern summit, Tom nan Clag meaning Hill of the Bell, rises steeply to a height of 86m providing splendid views on Loch Lomond and it was here that the monks rang the bell to the call of prayer.

Kerr’s Folly Statue (Wee Peter), Bandry Bay

Highlight • Lake

This statue in Bandry Bay, just south of Luss, is called ‘Wee Peter’, a name which was conferred in recent times for reasons unknown. Most people think it is a memorial to a boy who drowned here. In fact, no such sad story is the case. The statue was made by William Kerr for a house in London he had been commissioned to build. While he worked successfully in London during the 1870s and 80s, his childhood was spent in Luss. When the statue was found to be ‘surplus to requirements’, Kerr brought it to the place where he had spent many happy hours as a child. Few people, if any, expected it to remain standing for long and it became known as ‘Kerr’s Folly’. Erected in 1890, it stands firm today, 121 years later, proving it wasn’t in the least ill advised.

View of Loch Lomond

Highlight • Viewpoint

Loch Lomond is a freshwater Scottish loch which crosses the Highland Boundary Fault. It is the largest inland stretch of water in Great Britain by surface area. The loch contains many islands, including Inchmurrin, the largest fresh-water island in the British Isles. Loch Lomond is a popular leisure destination and is featured in the song "The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond". The Loch is now part of the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park which was established in 2002. Loch Lomond is a corruption of the Gaelic Lac Leaman, or 'Lake of the Elms'.
