  • Biodiversity Action Plan 2008-2011
    1 1 0 2 - 8 0 0 2 NATIONAL PARK BIODIVERSITY ACTION PLAN 2008-2011 FOREWORD Hello, this Biodiversity Action Plan is fundamental to the National Park making a difference to our environment. This Plan is a core part of delivering on the Scottish Government’s strategic priorities for the nation, in particular the commitment to a Greener Scotland, and on our own National Park Plan 2007-2012. Our ambition is that the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park will be seen as the location of choice for leading edge work to conserve and enhance Scotland’s biodiversity. In the coming years the Park Authority and our partners will actively pursue landscape-scale restoration of active floodplain wetlands, extensive native woodlands and widespread control of damaging invasive species. We will also model and demonstrate the effects of climate change on the natural environment in a way that everyone can relate to. With hard work and good will on the part of land owners, community groups, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and government agencies, nature conservation can be accomplished here on a grand scale. The forestry re-structuring on east Loch Lomondside and The Great Trossachs Forest projects are already set to give us the largest native broadleaved woodland in Scotland. We need similarly ambitious work to retain and enhance the diversity of our farmland as well as our lochs and rivers and the marine coast of the National Park. In this period of great economic changes affecting upland farming, it is important to recognise that the valued biodiversity of the National Park has been greatly shaped by traditional use of the land for food production from agriculture and field sports.

  • Old Castle Lachlan to Kilmun
    Driving Tour between Old Castle Lachlan and Kilmun – connecting the Mausoleums of two historic Highland families, the Maclachlans and the Campbells Old Castle Lachlan – Newton - Strachur – Loch Eck - Benmore Botanic Gardens – Historic Kilmun This picturesque round trip through Argyll’s Cowal peninsula is approximately 50 miles and takes you from Old Castle Lachlan and Kilmorie Chapel on Loch Fyne, to Loch Eck, and ends at Historic Kilmun on Holy Loch near Dunoon. It contains several stopping places worth devoting plenty of time to. We recommend a whole day to see everything with an additional day if you would like to explore the many forestry tracks by mountain bike or on foot. Beginning at Old Castle Lachlan the tour will lead you down the banks of Loch Eck to the resting place of the Clan Campbell chiefs, the Dukes of Argyll, at Kilmun. There are beautiful views of the mountains with picnic stops and Forestry Commission walks along the way. Please remember to drive on the left and take your time on the winding narrow roads. Starting Point: Old Castle Lachlan, Lachlan Bay Old Castle Lachlan The ancient seat of the Maclachlan Clan makes a fine looking ruin and easy walking paths encourage you to explore and enjoy your surroundings. It is a hidden gem on Loch Fyne, standing out on the loch since the 15th Century, once a centre of local life. However, the castle has lain empty since the 17th Clan Chief took sides with Bonnie Price Charlie and died on the battlefield of Culloden in 1746. The current clan chief and his family live in the white 'new' castle you can see on your walk.

The Canoe Club and Inchmurrin The island of Inchmurrin was from the outset a favourite stopping off place for CCC members, as it had been for local workmen with their pleasure boats from the mid 19th century onwards. The island had been inhabited since the first written records began – there are reports of the Vikings looting it in the 13th century. In the late 14th century the Earls of Lennox had built the stone castle whose remains can still be seen as replacement for the less secure Balloch castle. It was here that the last Countess of Lennox learned of the execution of her father, husband and two sons at Stirling Castle in 1425 on the orders of King James I. The Countess spent the rest of her life exiled on the island until her death in 1460 and she is the last recorded permanent resident until the gamekeepers of the 18th century. However, there were many other visitors in the intervening centuries. It was one of the favourite targets for raids by Rob Roy in his long-running dispute with the Duke of Montrose, who had bought it in the late 17th century. Other visitors in the 18th and 19th century included unmarried pregnant women who were confined there.
