Loch Lomond and the Trossachs in History and Legend | Ransom, P.J.G. | John Donald Publishers | 2004 | This history of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs area goes back to the invasions of the Norsemen who hauled their boats overland in order to reach Loch Lomond. Since then, the area has seen countless visitors, rather more peaceful than those early raiders, who have come to recognise the beauty of the hills and lochs. Walter Scott romanticised the area and attracted even more visitors, keen to follow in the footsteps of characters like Rob Roy. The district used to have a complex transport system with buses, trains and steamers linking the villages and towns; today`s visitors are more likely to use a car or take a bus. This is the story of the district: its history, transportation system and the attractions it has offered generations of visitors. | 1191 |
