One of the small villages that dot the western shore of Loch Lomond, Luss is a regular stop for boat tours of the lake. Loch Lomond, 38 kilometres (24 miles) long, is the largest of the Scottish inland lochs, and its glacially excavated floor reaches depths of 199 metres (about 630 feet). Within easy reach of both Glasgow and Edinburgh, the loch is a popular day-trip destination for urban residents in Scotland’s central belt.

One of Scotland's most famous lochs, it is the second longest inland water, only Loch Ness being longest. Five miles across at its widest, Loch Lomond has the largest surface area of freshwater in Scotland and the most volume, its water being used after treatment for consumption by the City of Edinburgh.
