Auchendennan1040 viewsAuchendennan House was from 1945 to 2013 a Youth Hostel and is reputed to have its own ghost. This view, circa 1956, shows Loch Lomond and Inchmurrin island beyond.

The present mansion was built in 1867 by Glasgow merchant George Martin, and it is now back in private ownership.
