The Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park was formed to conserve and enhance the 170 square mile Regional Park. The Park Authority also has the duty to promote the enjoyment of the area and support the economic and social interests of the local community.

The National Park feels worlds apart from the bustle of city life. Yet it’s less than an hour from Glasgow and not much more from Edinburgh. A place of contrasts, it covers four distinctly different and special areas:

Ben Lomond standing guard over Loch Lomond, the largest expanse of freshwater in Great Britain

The Trossachs, wild glens and sparkling lochs between Callander and Aberfoyle

Breadalbane, the high country of the north, with some of Scotland’s finest munros, Ben Lui, Ben Challum, Ben More and Ben Vorlich

The Argyll Forest of the Cowal peninsula watched over by the Arrochar Alps and bordered by sea lochs.

The Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park has a duty to:

• Conserve the natural and other values of the Park
• Promote the enjoyment of the area, and
• Promote the economic and social interests of the local community.
