National park in Scotland

Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park straddles between Argyll and Bute to the west and Stirlingshire to the east. It's highland in nature and very scenic, though being on the doorstep of Glasgow it can feel busy and touristy.
By bus
Citylink buses from Glasgow Buchanan Station follow A82 up the west bank of Loch Lomond via Luss to Tarbet.
By road
From Glasgow follow M8 west then cross the Clyde by Erskine Bridge to avoid dragging through the suburbs. Head north for Balloch then take the east or west shore as preferred.
You need your own wheels, distances are considerable and buses are sparse. A bike will do if you're fit.
