Flamingo Land on Loch Lomond must be ditched, say Greens
Canoeists in the water of Loch Lomond, July 19, 2022

A DECISION to reject plans for a “ridiculous” Flamingo Land resort on the banks of Loch Lomond for a second time must spell the end of the road, the Scottish Greens insisted today.

The Lomond Banks development, involving the construction of two hotels, over 100 self-catering cottages and a monorail near the town of Balloch at the southern end of the loch, came after earlier plans were rejected in 2018.
