1. Luss
A 45 minute drive from Greenock along the River Clyde and over the Erskine Bridge takes us into the Highlands and our first stop, the village of Luss on the western shore of Loch Lomond. Walk past the sandstone and slate cottages to the pier with it's wonderful views across to Ben Lomond and expansive loch views.

2. Rest and be Thankful
A 27 minute drive from Luss, passing through Arrochar, at the head of the fjord of Loch Long, we drive through high and steep sided Glens, to arrive at The Rest and Be Thankful. For centuries the pass has been affectionately known as The Rest and Be Thankful, or simply The Rest. The climb out of Glen Croe is so long and steep that it was traditional for travellers and drovers to rest at the top, and be thankful for having made the highest point. A perfect place for a group photo.
