WESTERN SHORE
The town of
Balloch
, which straddles the River Leven where it flows from the southern
end of Loch Lomond, is the loch's main population centre and transport hub. A Victorian
resort once thronged by day-trippers transferring between the train station and the steamer
quay, it is now a 'gateway centre' for Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.
