People are being advised to keep themselves and their pets out of Loch Lomond after blue-green algae was discovered in the water. The algae, which can cause rashes after skin contact and illness if swallowed, has been spotted at several locations along the shore of Loch Lomond at Balloch Park. It can also be toxic to dogs.
Our Environmental Health team have put up signage in the affected areas and will continue to monitor the situation.
