The Old Toll House is open all year round to walkers and tourists where a warm Scottish welcome awaits you. We are situated on the A83 between Tarbet and Arrochar, between Loch Lomond and Loch Long.
Glasgow airport is only forty minutes drive away, which makes Ballyhennan Old Toll House an ideal place to start your tour of the Highlands.
The railway station is a five-minute walk away, and there is a regular bus service from Glasgow. The Toll House has ample car parking facilities.
The oldest part of the Toll House dates back four hundred years. A toll had to be paid to Clan McFarlane when travellers passed the house. We are told from a reliable source that Queen Victoria stopped here to pay her toll during her post coronation tour. Local history tells us Vikings used this natural route between the two lochs to pull their long boats from Loch Long to Loch Lomond. |
