Welcome to the website for the village of Gartocharn, Loch Lomond in Scotland, created for the benefit of the community in particular, but also for anyone who would like to see what this beautiful part of the world has to offer.

We have tried to make the site easy to navigate around – just use the menu on the left hand side and the links within the pages to explore and discover up-to-date information and the many wonderful pictures taken by local photographers, changed on a regular basis, so there will always be something new and interesting to return to.

As mentioned, this is a community website and ideas/comments/contributions are always welcome – just send them This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or leave in the Dumpling Times box in the Village Shop.
