Luss Parish Church
This church was built by Sir James Colquhoun in memory of his father in 1873. This picturesque Neo-Gothic church has a distinctive roof that represents an upturned ship. There is also an Anglo-Scandinavian hogback stone, located in the graveyard.
Luss Highland Games
We are extremely proud of our annual Highland Gathering; one of the oldest games in the country, our event brings together thousands of local and international visitors to Luss on the first weekend every July.
The Luss Highland Gathering has been a feature in Luss since the late 19th Century, and with a couple of exceptions during war-time, has been held every year. Overseen by the Chieftain of the Games, Patrick Colquhoun, this annual event is held on the first Saturday in July.
Visitor Management
The Estate plays an active role in managing visitor-related activities, tasks that would typically fall under the responsibilities of the National Park or Argyll and Bute Council.
Each year, we invest £70,000 in initiatives such as providing portaloos, employing village wardens, and conducting litter-picking operations. Additionally, as part of the previous development plan, the estate constructed a village green and a car park to enhance the public realm and improve traffic management in the area.
The Queen’s Tree
The estate proudly organised the planting of a commemorative tree to celebrate Queen Elizabeth becoming the longest-reigning monarch in British history. The tree, a Red Oak (Quercus robur), stands at the entrance to Luss, Loch Lomond, directly opposite the Loch Lomond Arms Hotel.
At it’s base, a stone circle inscribed with the names of those who subscribed to the tribute at the time surrounds the tree. Later that month, a special ceremony was held to unveil both the tree and the inscribed stone circle.
