Inversnaid

Inversnaid

Inversnaid is a village on the east bank of Loch Lomond in Scotland, near the north end of the loch. It has a pier and a hotel, and the West Highland Way passes through the village. A small passenger ferry runs from Inversnaid to Inveruglas on the opposite shore of the loch. To reach Inversnaid by road involves a lengthy overland route from Aberfoyle.

It is also the title of a poem by Gerard Manley Hopkins. [http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/inversnaid/]
