Villages
There are many picturesque villages around the Loch Shores, the most famous village and most stunning is Luss. "Take the High Road" was filmed both at Luss and at Arden Youth Hostel.
Alexandria to the south is the largest town directly adjacent to the Loch, Alexandria, (The Vale of Leven), is infact made up of several villages, Balloch, Jamestown, Bonhill, Tullichewan, Renton and Alexandria itself.
