This inn with a popular restaurant is located on the east side of Balloch Bridge. This is no coincidence. Before the bridge was built, this was the location of a ferry crossing. The very name "balloch" comes from the Gaelic “bealach” meaning a pass.
The Balloch House was built in the early 18th Century and became a hotel the following century. Loch Lomond has been a must-see place to visit for a very long time and this building was the obvious place to find refreshment or possibly stay over. Over the course of its existence it has seen a number of signficant visitors which have included Hans Christian Anderson in 1847 and the Empress Eugenie, wife of Louis-Napolean Bonaparte's nephew in 1860.
