Nice to see you back in the country named after you Scott. Some nice weather there as well, not what I'm seeing out my window right now. Will need to give this a go sometime.
Great video but I'm old enough to remember travelling the length of the Loch from Balloch to Inversnaid on the Paddle Steamer Maid of the Loch - fresh Salmon for lunch in the opulent dining saloon followed by a pint in the snug tartan bedecked lounge bar - not that I'm knocking Cruise Loch Lomond!😀
Hi Scott, a lovely video that really brought this area alive to me. About a month ago, my son returned from a three week trip to Scotland and England which included hiking the West Highland Way. He ended up being seriously delayed on the trail due to the weather; and he ended up stranded at the Rowardennan Youth Hostel for three, maybe even four nights. He certainly made good use of the hotel restaurant and bar!!! The forecast was not good for continuing the hike, so he decided to book a ticket on the ferry to Tarbert and then catch public transport up towards Fort William. Fortunately, the next day saw a slight improvement in the weather, so he elected to forfeit the ticket and continue hiking and was able to complete the hike in the end. That was a real achievement for him!!! Yes, he missed the ferry trip - and hopefully he can join me on a future trip that would include that ferry ride, as I doubt that I could do the complete trail anymore. Cheers, Ian
For the avoidance of any possible confusion, this gentleman means TARBET not TARBERT. There are 2 Tarberts in Scotland, neither of which particularly close to Tarbet, or on Loch Lomond. The nearest is in Argyll, where I live and is a beautiful fishing village on the west coast. I’d recommend Scott has a swing past there too, lovely drive over the Rest and be Thankful and through the wonderful scenery of Argyll.
I love a sail on the Loch. My favourites are the ones that go round the islands just south of Luss. If you've never visited the island of Inchcailloch I would recommend that - you can sail from Balmaha or Luss in the summer months - best time is when the bluebells are in full bloom. Last time I did the route you did here was a few months back when I walked from Balmaha to Rowardennan on a whim, was nice to get a rest on the sail over to catch the bus at Tarbet. I last climbed Ben Lomond about 12 or 13 years ago, but I'll be doing it again this year coming. I can see it clear as a bell from my house and feel I ought to try and do it at least once a year.
Funny, I was just there yesterday! I did Sweeney's from Balloch though as it was the easiest to get to by train from Glasgow. This looks like a slightly nicer journey though.
Hello Scot, I like these short and interesting videos. Especially i liked the black and white images, they create a speial atmosphere.Keep on going with 'everything'.
The U. S. passenger railroad Amtrak had a sleeping car over 30 years ago named "Loch Lomond", long since retired and sold off. They had a couple of other similar cars in the "Loch" series.

Oh dear, I am a regular viewer (love the channel!) But I went for the bar option!
I have climbed Ben Lomond 4 times now, Can’t get enough of it! Loch Lomond is my favourite place in the whole world ❤️🤌

Beautiful place, good video, thank you for sharing 😊
Beautiful scenery. Not been on that loch for 30 years.
Stunning can I ask when filmed
This is one of the many on offer well worth doing

Well done my friend you chose the toughest option ⛰️ I was certain you were going for a bar lunch 🥗 🍺 😂😂😂

Lovely country and very quiet too . Surprised you opted for the hike. It was a perfect day and you were lucky for that .
Scotland has such spectacular scenery.
i used to live in rowardennan. i miss it so much 💗
Great travelogue as usual, Scott 👍👍🏴
I would love to go to Scotland, will go one day
Love Loch Lomond, it’s so different every day.

Fab thanks for sharing..
Know the Loch so well. My ancestral home is Luss on West side of the Loch. South of Tarbet.
Nice video, I did a cruise around Loch Katrine with my chocolate Labrador, his first time on a boat, although we both really enjoyed it
Hello Scot,

Tarbert is a lovely place and it was a pity when the hotel closed but hopefully it will reopen.
Liked the voyage and the musical accompaniment.
The U. S. passenger railroad Amtrak had a sleeping car over 30 years ago named "Loch Lomond", long since retired and sold off. They had a couple of other similar cars in the "Loch" series.
The loch is looking good...
Thank you for sharing this video
Great video Scott
hopefully you should be able to cruise loch lomond by paddle steamer relatively soon.
@5:39 "Well, that didn't go according to plan."
A would have been hitting the restaurant and bozzer lol.
When was this filmed? October?
Hi Scott, a bit if message but have you walked, or planning to walk The Hebridian Way
5:40 did they ever find the body?
Those piranhas are just too vicious, unfortunately...
Shud it be Tarbet not Tarbert. Isn't it?
G'day mate,
Do you have a patreon pages?
Tarbet Loch Lomond
Tarbert Mid Argyll fs
Climbing up Ben Lomond 1 don't find any strange people in cars and 2 don't fade away .....any reasonable Scottish person should get the references
Have you a wife Scott?
