Lomond log

The Log Lomond (Scottish Gaelic: Loch Laomainn ) is a Lac (or Loch) of Scotland located at the west of the country, in the south of the Highlands. It forms part at the same time of the areas of Stirling, Argyll and Bute, and of the West Dunbartonshire and is located approximately at 23km in the north of Glasgow.

Its dimensions 37 km length are roughly on 8 km broad. Its average depth is of 37 meters, with a maximum depth of 190 meters. It recovers a surface of 71km ² and has a volume of 2,6km ³. By its surface, it is largest of the logs of Great Britain, and the second after the Loch Born in volume. However it is not largest of the lakes of the British Isles, largest being the Lough Neagh in Northern Ireland.

The Lomond Log forms part since July 2002 National park of Trossachs and Log Lomond.

Over the bank East dominates the Ben Lomond, 974 meters, which is the southernmost top of the solid mass of the Munros.

Many islands are dispersed on the lake, some having of the ancient ruins. One of it, Inchmurrin, is the largest lake island of British Isles. As for the Log Tay, several small islands seem to have been of the Crannog S, of the artificial islands built during Prehistory.

Today the log is well-known for the Club of golf of the Lomond Log which accommodates international competitions.
