Loch Lomond at Balmaha

Loch Lomond at Balmaha

A few hundred years ago, Balmaha would have been regarded as an inconsequential staging post on a road to nowhere. This all changed with the popularising of in the 1800s and today the village remains a focal point for those visiting Loch Lomond's more attractive east shore.

After the upsurge in the popularity of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs in the 1800s, Balmaha became a frequent stopping-off point for the steamers which used to ply Loch Lomond. These sadly ceased in the latter part of the 1900s, and Balmaha's steamer pier disappeared in 1971. For more information and photographs, see the Balmaha Feature Page.
