Maid of the Loch

The Maid is the last paddle steamer built in Britain and the last in a long line of paddle steamers on the loch, dating back to 1818.

Being the largest steamer to ever sail on the loch, she was erected at a yard on the Clyde, dismantled, and transported to Loch Lomond where she was re-assembled on the slipway at Balloch in 1953.

The stunning spacious decks make the ideal venue for events and functions and the restaurant, cafe and bar are open to the public and are a unique 2 star visitors attraction.

The cafe bar is on the main deck at the bow. The Lomond Lounge serves meals, snacks, and teas and coffee. From home made soup and sandwiches to the hot dish of the day, there is something to suit everyone.
