Things to Do Around Drymen

Drymen sits at the southern end of Loch Lomond, and nearly everything there is to do here happens outdoors, within a few miles of the square.

The West Highland Way runs straight through the village. Walkers coming up from Milngavie usually stop here for the night before the stage over Conic Hill to Balmaha, which is the walk most people come for. It is about six miles from the village and takes an hour or two, and from the top the islands of Loch Lomond line up in a row along the Highland Boundary Fault.

For something shorter, Duncryne is a forty-minute climb with the easiest big view of the loch in the area. Ben Lomond, Scotland's most southerly Munro, is about ten miles on and takes most of a day. Balloch Castle Country Park is flat and easy beside the River Leven, and the Sallochy trails run through oak woodland along the loch shore.

On the water, boats leave Balmaha for Inchcailloch — the wooded island a few hundred metres offshore, with a loop walk and an old burial ground.
