LOCH Lomond is set to play its part next summer during the European Championships.

Next year's event is a multi-sport extravaganza and although Glasgow will be centre stage as the host city, West Dunbartonshire has a role to play too.

The 2018 LEN European Aquatics Championships Open Water Swimming will take place in Loch Lomond next August.

It will see thousands of athletes and spectators descend to Balloch for an exciting competition which will see athletes go head to head for fastest time in a 5k, 10k and 25k open water course.
