Visitors tackling the main route to the top of Ben Lomond will have an extra spring in their step thanks to recent refurbishment work on the path.

A mixture of work has brought a new lease of life to this popular route. Improvements to the path surface have made the going a little easier, landscaping has helped make the area more attractive and harvesting work has opened up some spectacular views across Loch Lomond.

The work has been carried out by Forestry Commission Scotland, which is responsible for the lower forest section of path, in partnership with the National Trust for Scotland.
