Ben Vorlich, Loch Lomond

Ben Vorlich (Scottish Gaelic: Beinn Mhùrlaig) is a mountain in the Arrochar Alps of Argyll, in the Southern Highlands of Scotland. It reaches 943 metres (3,094 ft), making it a Munro. It lies between Loch Lomond and Loch Sloy. Ben Vorlich is the highest point of the historic county of Dunbartonshire. The A82 road and the West Highland railway line run on the eastern side of Ben Vorlich, above the shoreline of Loch Lomond. The peak forms a north–south ridge on the western side of Loch Lomond, with a subsidiary ridge known as Little Hills running from the summit east down to the shores of the loch. There are three small summits around 800 m apart along the main ridge; the central one is the highest, though the southern one has a trig point.

Island I Vow

Island I Vow is a wooded islet near the head of Loch Lomond in west-central Scotland. It is 10 m tall at its highest point, and 80 m long. The island contains the remains of a castle built by the chief of Clan MacFarlane in 1577. This became the chief's primary residence after the destruction of Inveruglas Castle further down the loch, but it fell into ruin after the chief moved to the mainland. The island's name appears as Elan(a)vow in older sources and seemingly means "island of the booth or store", from the Gaelic eilean a' bhùtha. Alternatively, the second element may be bhodha, meaning "sunken rock".
