Inveruglas, Loch Lomond
This article is updated for 2026 with the disappointing news that the pyramid viewing platform has been removed, and there is no longer a coffee shop.
Where is Inverulas?
Inveruglas is three miles north of Tarbet on the A82, at the northern end of the loch on the western shores. There is a pay-and-display car park with access to the loch. Opposite the car park is the Loch Sloy Hydro Station. Sadly, there is no longer a coffee shop here, but there are toilets.
Inveruglas is at the start/end of two Great Trails - Loch Lomond & Cowal Way and Three Lochs Way.
Inveruglas Pyramid An Ceann Mòr
**Spring 2025 Note: An Ceann Mòr is currently closed due to repairs**
As mentioned at the start of this article, the 8-metre-high pyramid installed in 2015 as part of the Scotland Scenic Routes project was removed in early 2026, having been closed to the public for 2 years due to structural deterioration and safety concerns. An Ceann Mòr means Large Headland in Gaelic and this is what it looked like from the loch.

Inveruglas Island
Just a short distance from the banks of the loch is Inveruglas Isle. The small wooded island has the ruins of a castle; once a stronghold to the chiefs of the Clan MacFarlane, it was destroyed by Oliver Cromwell’s Roundhead troops during the 17th century. You can read more about our visit to the island at the link below.
