Loch Lomond

A dreich Loch Lomond from Cnap Mòr above Ardlui, showing the new road section at Pulpit Rock and the "Island I Vow".

"It is likely that the name Island I Vow was derived from the Gaelic translation of 'Island Of The Cow' and that this name owed something to the professional interests of its inhabitants.

The Macfarlanes, who were notorious cattle thieves, built another stronghold here after their earlier castle had been destroyed.

The ruins of the castle remain today and steps still lead down to the dark, dank dungeon below."
