Tarbet
County (pre 1975): Dunbartonshire; Region/District (1975-1996): Strathclyde/Dumbarton; Unitary Authority: Argyll & Bute
Lying at a major road junction on the side of Loch Lomond, Tarbet leads north to Crianlarich and west toward Arrochar and Loch Long and the west of Argyll. There are wonderful views of the loch from the picnic area opposite the imposing baronial style Tarbet Hotel, or take a boat trip from the pier. Tarbet has a Tourist Information Centre, a tea room, and a converted church which is a café and craft shop. Tarbet shares its railway station on the spectacular West Highland Line with Arrochar, and the rail journey is a fantastic experience. The line goes to either Oban, or further north to Fort William and then west to Mallaig. This portion of the journey can be done in the Jacobite steam train, otherwise known as the Hogwarts Express from the Harry Potter films and the journey takes you over the famous Glenfinnan Viaduct.
