Highland adventures
Scotland is famous the world over for its wild and rugged countryside, much of it easy to reach from Glasgow. Take the train from Glasgow Queen Street to Balloch (50 mins) and walk to the shores of Loch Lomond. Join a cruise (sweeneyscruiseco.com) on the shimmering lake – often considered the boundary between the Lowlands and the Highlands – or pick up a trail and explore Balloch Castle Park.
