Where lowland and highland meet

Take your pick of tranquil walks on a wooded isle, or down to the lochshore in search of a fishing osprey. Listen out for the distinctive call of winter visiting geese flying overhead in their constantly changing formations or watch the peaceful paddling of wigeon, teal and shelduck. On Inchcailloch island, a springtime carpet of wildflowers await, whilst insect-eating birds dart from tree to tree and a fallow deer watches in reproachful silence.

Inchcailloch, Loch Lomond

As a result of the recent storms National Park staff have identified 114 trees on Inchcailloch that present a hazard to people walking on the paths. To make the island safe for people to enjoy, tree surgeons will start work to remove the dangerous limbs and branches. Due to the nature of this work, public access will be restricted to the island from the 15th February to the 11th March. The National Park apologises for any inconvenience and hopes you return to enjoy the island soon. If you would like further information on this temporary closure please contact the National Park Maintenance Manager, Jim Williamson, on 01389 722008.
