unspoiled areas so take an unforgettable boat trip across the lake and enjoy the stunning views of the area called the mini Highlands there are several small Islands within the lock which can be explored thanks to Dedicated cruises as well as the Lo lman water bus ferry service but I think you can hire a boat and explore it yourself so if you're visiting Glasgow or Edinburgh and looking for

towering mountains of gleno are the most iconic scenery in the highlands and something which you could hardly Miss if you tried carved out centuries ago by Icy glazers and Volcanic explosions driving
