What’s "Loch Lomond" ACTUALLY about?

Loch Lomond is probably Scotland’s second most famous loch. A well known beauty spot, it has inspired artists, writers and musicians over the centuries. It’s Britain’s largest stretch of inland water and crosses the line between The Highlands and Lowlands of Scotland.

The loch gives its name to a song that undoubtedly made it more famous. But what’s “Loch Lomond” or "The Bonnie Banks O’ Loch Lomond” really about? Who is thought to have written it? What is the low road back to Scotland? And what strange creature lives on an island in the middle of Loch Lomond?

Follow my adventures as I travel through the landscapes and history of Scotland. I make quick, quirky and (hopefully) funny content about Scotland's past, people and scenery.

I look for the hidden stories, forgotten people and beautiful scenery of Scotland and try to find the funny in the darkness, obscurity and occasional absurdity of our history.
