"Inchcailloch is particularly spectacular come spring, when the whole island is awash with bluebells dancing under dappled light. Set in the heart of Loch Lomond, this small island feels both accessible and wonderfully removed."
"Legend has it that one funeral was so fuelled by whisky in this sacred spot that the mourners forgot to bury their dead. When the final farewells drew to a close in 1947, human traffic naturally decreased, and in its wake, wildlife flourished."
"From reports of a white deer to sightings of extremely rare capercaillie birds, if you go slow and tread carefully, you're almost guaranteed to spot glimpses of animals."
"The main path leads from the landing jetty up to the island's summit, where expansive views await those who venture to the top."
