Loch Lomond ( Scottish Gaelic Loch Laomainn ) is a Scottish loch, located in both the western lowlands of Central Scotland and the southern Highlands. Traditionally a boundary of Stirlingshire and Dunbartonshire, it is located in the current council areas of Stirling, Argyll and Bute, and West Dunbartonshire, and its southern shores lie approximately 14 miles (23 km) north of Glasgow, the country's largest city.
This freshwater loch is 24 miles long (39 kilometres), and ¾ mile to 5 miles wide. It has an average depth of about 120 ft (37 m), and a maximum depth of about 630 ft (190 m). Its surface area measures 27¼ miles² (71 km²), and it has a volume of 0.6 cubic miles (2.6 km³). It has the largest surface area of all the lochs, and is second biggest after Loch Ness in terms of water volume in Great Britain, although it is not the largest in the United Kingdom - this distinction belongs to Lough Neagh in Northern Ireland. Today, the loch is also well known for the Loch Lomond Golf Club which is situated on its south western shore. It has hosted many international events including the Scottish Open. More recently another golf club, "The Carrick" has opened on the banks of the Loch adjacent to the Loch Lomond Club. Other leisure activities on the loch include cruises from the town of Balloch, operated by Sweeney's Cruises.
