Loch Lomond Clan Battles and Viking Raids | Exclusive Scottish Visits

An extraordinary aerial view of the iconic Loch Lomond greets you in this video taken from Duncryne Hill, sitting at the southern end of the loch in the small farming village of Gartocharn.
John Harbour of Exclusive Scottish Visits takes you on a journey from Duncryne Hill to the ancient village of Luss on the banks of the Loch where you will see Ben Lomond, the beautifully preserved 18th century village and the famous Luss Church. You will hear of the Colquhoun Clan and, on visiting the churchyard, you will see an incredible 12/13th century Viking Hog-Back grave marker and hear why on earth the Vikings raided an inland freshwater loch. From there, John takes you up to Glen Fruin (Valley of Sorrows) to tell you the tale of the 17th Century battle between the Colquhoun Clan and the MacGregors and its bloody aftermath. It is an extraordinary tale and you can listen to the full Podcast here at exclusivescottishvisits.co.uk....
