Loch Lomond (Scottish Gaelic: Loch Laomainn) is a community located in Richmond County, Nova Scotia. It is named after Loch Lomond in Dunbartonshire, Scotland.

The community sits upon the eastern shore of a lake which is also named Loch Lomond. It is known for its scenery and its wide appeal for summer cottages.[tone][citation needed] It also has a rich history kept alive by the community.[citation needed] Loch Lomond is a fresh water lake that is used for fishing and boating.[citation needed]

Many of the early settlers were pioneers who settled the area in 1828, from the islands of Harris and Uist Scotland. There is a monument by the side of the road commemorating them.

Some of settlers moved to St. Anns, near Baddeck.
