The image top is of the Drovers Inn at the north end of
Loch Lomond, a real popular spot for meals and
drinks. The Falls of Falloch are 2 miles north
of the Inn.
Parking for the Falls of Falloch are just in
off the A82 Road, often full with some cars
parking on the roadside.
The Police often put cones on the roadside
to prevent parking there as it is a fast and
busy stretch of road.
You can walk to the Falls from the Drovers
Inn 2 miles, or from Crianlarich 5 miles via
the West Highland
Way Walking Trail.
