National Scenic Areas (Scotland)
There are 40 National Scenic Areas in Scotland, covering 13% of the country's land area which include spectacular mountain ranges, like the Skye Cuillins, Ben Nevis and Glencoe, island landscapes in the Hebrides and Northern Isles and richly diverse scenery such as in Perthshire, the Scottish Borders, and Dumfries and Galloway. The designation’s purpose is both to identify the finest scenery and to ensure its protection from inappropriate development.
They are broadly equivalent to the Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty found in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Loch Lomond - Loch Lomond and The Trossachs
Loch Lomond owes its origin to the glacial era. The Glaciers ran South from the Ben Lui basin towards the southern end of Loch Lomond which is now Balloch. Loch Lomond has the greatest surface area of freshwater in Britain, approximately 28 sq miles and is the longest freshwater loch at 24 miles., and although quite shallow when compared to Loch Ness and Loch Morar (not in the park) it still holds more water than all the Lakes in the Lake District added together.
