People first arrived in the Loch Lomond area around 5000 years ago, during the neolithic era. They left traces of their presence at places around the loch, including Balmaha, Luss, and Inchlonaig. [1] Crannogs, artificial islands used as dwellings for over five millennia, [33] were built at points in the loch. [1] The Romans had a fort within sight of the loch at Drumquhassle. The crannog known as "The Kitchen", located off the island of Clairinsh, may have later been used as a place for important meetings by Clan Buchanan whose clan seat had been on Clairinsh since 1225: this usage would be in line with other crannogs such as that at Finlaggan on Islay, used by Clan Donald.

When it comes to representing Scottish tradition from a purely historical standpoint, there are certainly older distilleries. In fact, the original Loch Lomond Whiskies, which has since closed, relocated, and reopened in 1965, first set up shop in 1814. That’s a lead of 30 years or more for its peers like Glenturret, Strathisla, or Bowmore. Even so, a healthy 200-year history of distilling is more than ample time to carve out a place in the world of whisky, and today those three decades seem a mere trifle. The Maid of the Loch was the last paddle steamer built in Britain. Built on the Clyde in 1953, she operated on Loch Lomond for 29 years. She is now being restored at Balloch pier by the Loch Lomond Steamship Company, a charitable organisation, supported by West Dunbartonshire Council. [38] Cruises also operate from Balloch, [39] Tarbet, Inversnaid, Luss and Rowardennan.
