Old photograph of Inverbeg Youth Hostel near Luss, by Loch Lomond, Scotland. The hostel at Inverbeg was constructed on a site donated by Sir Iain Colquhoun of Luss, a strong supporter of the SYHA movement, who officially opened the facility on 22nd August 1931. By 1993, after 60 years use, the structure of the hostel had deteriorated considerably; new water treatment equipment and expensive repairs would be needed; a decision was made to close the hostel, effected on 1st November 1993. Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to travel and visit one day.
