Linlithgow Loch

Jump on one of the frequently departing trains to the historic West Lothian town, where you’ll find a large loch just a short stroll from the station. Standing in the shadow of a ruined palace, its vast size of over a hundred acres (40ha) provides ample opportunity for water sports, fishing and hiking. It’s owned by Historic Scotland and home to a wide range of waterfowl, as well as the Low Port Centre for canoe and kayak hire. Follow the waterside path to circumnavigate the loch on foot in around 30 to 40 minutes.
