LussLuss is a village in the Argyll & Bute region of Scotland, on the west bank of Loch Lomond, Scotland's largest freshwater loch. Its original name is Clachan dubh - dark village, probably because of Ben Lomond which towers over the Loch and its villages. Saint Kessog brought Christianity to Luss in the eight century, but the present Church of Scotland church was built in 1875 by the Colquhoun clan. Nowadays Luss is a conservation village, and a bypass was constructed to stop the traffic from passing through it. Many of Luss' cottages are described as 'picturesque'. Luss Pier is a popular starting point for boat trips on the loch. There is a Kiltmaker and a Bagpipe Works. In recent years Luss became famous as a result of being the main outdoor location for the Scottish Television drama series Take the High Road.
