Dance Information

Loch Lomond, situated in Scotland, is the largest freshwater loch by surface area in Great Britain, extending about 39 kilometres (24 miles) in length.

It lies within the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park and is renowned for its breathtaking scenery, rich wildlife, and popular recreational activities, including boating, fishing, and hiking. The loch is home to more than 30 islands, among them Inchmurrin, the largest freshwater island in the British Isles.

Its name originates from the Gaelic "Loch Laomainn", which translates to "Lake of the Elms".
