Visitors to Balloch can now easily refill their bottles following the installation of a public faucet by Scottish Water.

The blue top up tap can be found outside the Visit Scotland i-Centre on Balloch Road.

Nik Turner, the behaviour change manager within the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, helped mark the official launch last Monday.

She said: “Having top up taps in the National Park where people can get cold and fresh water for free is amazing.

“They encourage people to carry reusable bottles, which will reduce the amount of littered bottles we see, but more importantly by swapping from single use plastic to reusable bottles we can all make a small change that makes a big difference to the climate emergency.”

Top up taps are already available in Aberfoyle, Callander, and Balmaha, with a fifth planned for Rowardennan.
