The wooded island of Inchcailloch is a gem in the loch and part of Loch Lomond National Nature Reserve. Lomond & The Trossachs National Park Authority manages the island for people and nature.

The Low Path is a gentle woodland walk with a few slopes. At first sight the woods look untouched by man, but look closer and you’ll discover that people played an important part in creating this wonderful home for wildlife.

The Summit Path is more strenuous with a steep climb to the top of the island. Here you’ll find out how dramatic forces of nature have sculpted the island and created lots of different homes for plants and animals.

You can visit the island all year round weather permitting. If you don’t have your own boat, you can hire one – or be ferried there and back. Catch a ferry from Balmaha Boat Yard - it’s a short journey to the island and the ferry operates on demand all year round. For larger groups of 12 or more please phone in advance tel 01360 870214 or visit www.balmahaboatyard.co.uk for more information.

The island has something to offer in every season of the year. If you wish to get to know it better, then why not sign up for one of the many Ranger events that showcase the island - for details check out our events calendar.
