Loch Lomond, Nova Scotia

Loch Lomond in Nova Scotia

Loch Lomond (Scottish Gaelic: Loch Laomainn) is a community located in Richmond County, Nova Scotia. It is named after Loch Lomond in Dunbartonshire, Scotland.

The community sits upon the eastern shore of a lake which is also named Loch Lomond. It is known for its beautiful scenery and its wide appeal for summer cottages. It also has a very rich history kept alive by the community. Loch Lomond is a fresh water lake that boasts excellent fishing and boating.

Many of the early settlers were pioneers who settled the area in 1828, from the islands of Harris and Uist Scotland. There is a monument by the side of the road commemorating them.

Donald Trump who is the Republican candidate for the 2016 US election , has Scottish roots back to the same area where these pioneers hailed from.
