The Inversnaid Hotel sits in a splendid location right next to the loch. It has some interesting history having previously been a hunting lodge for the Duke of Montrose. There are also links to Scotland's famous clan warfare and the clearances in the 18th century. From here there are fine views of nearby Arklet falls, the muse of Wordsworth and Sir Walter Scott.

Inversnaid Falls. From a boat on Loch Lomond, to the left of pic is Inversnaid Hotel.
Waterfall following typical wet weather. Bridge above falls carries West Highland Way. Gerald Manley Hopkin's short poem ("Inversnaid") is about this waterfall. Its final well-known lines are even more appropriate now: "What would the world be, once bereft Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left, O let them be left, wildness and wet; Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet."
