Ben Lomond
|
- Well maintained paths are the result of repair of what were previously wide erosion scars
- The property is part of the Ben Lomond National Memorial Park, designated in 1995 as a memorial to those who gave their lives in the world wars
- Management work aims to achieve a balance between grazing land use and habitat conservation
Situated on the east side of Loch Lomond, the property extends to 2173 ha (almost 22km2) and includes the summit of Ben Lomond, Scotland’s most southerly munro (mountain over 3000ft high) and one of the country’s most acclaimed landmarks. Much of the property is designated as a site of special scientific interest, because it holds remnants of the full range of upland plant communities, from low to high altitude. It also supports a tenant sheep farm, and is one of the most popular hill walks in Scotland.
