Balloch Castle Country Park :: Shared Description
Balloch Country Park is a 200-acre country park on the southern tip of Loch Lomond. It was recognised as a country park in 1980, and it is the only country park in the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. Balloch Country Park features nature trails, guided walks, a walled garden, and picnic lawns with views of the Loch. It was originally developed in the early 19th century by John Buchanan, a partner in the Glasgow and Ship Bank, and the gardens were significantly improved by the Dennistoun-Browns, who bought the estate in 1851. Buchanan also built Balloch Castle, which now serves as the park's visitors' centre.
