Updated bylaws for Loch Lomond regarding age 16 and under life jacket rules
Changes to the Loch Lomond Byelaws come into force today to further improve public safety and reduce irresponsible behaviour on the loch.
The previous byelaws were recently reviewed and a 12-week public consultation was held on proposed changes. As a result, the byelaws were strengthened and key changes have been introduced, including - under 16s must wear life jackets or buoyancy aids when on any moving vessel. This includes boats, canoes, kayaks, paddleboards and any other vessel on the water, whether it has an engine or not.
Kenny Auld, our Head of Visitor Services said: “Our Ranger Team patrols Loch Lomond on a daily basis and while the vast majority of engagement with loch users is positive, it is also important to have an effective deterrent to irresponsible behaviour."
