What a pleasant surprise this wee village was. Located on
the west bank of Loch Lomond, Luss has an abundance of picturesque cottages,
built by the local laird to house cotton mill and slate workers in the 18th and
19th centuries.

Developed by the Colquhoun’s of Luss who lived at
nearby Rossdhu House, Luss pier was developed as an outlet for slate from
nearby quarries and as a steamer landing for tourists. Now a conservation
village it was the setting for the TV series High Road.

The present Church of Scotland was built in 1875
by Sir James
Colquhoun, in memory of his father who had drowned in the loch
in December 1873. It was built on an ancient religious site that was home to
St. Kessog in the early 6th C. The church is noted for its online services as
well as for holding over one hundred weddings per year, most from outside the
parish. [1]
