A man has been charged with culpable and reckless conduct following reports relating to the use of a jet ski on Loch Lomond.
The incidents happened on Sunday 21, Tuesday 23, and Wednesday, 24 June, 2026, near Luss pier, and a report has been sent to the Procurator Fiscal at Dumbarton
Police Scotland Inspector Colin Cameron said: “Loch Lomond is a shared space for everyone to enjoy respectfully. We work closely with the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park Authority to keep it safe for all users.
“Anyone operating personal watercraft irresponsibly or unsafely, or in a way that disrupts others, will be identified and dealt with.
“Anyone with concerns or information should contact us via 101.”
Leigh Hamilton, Ranger Service Manager with Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park Authority, said: “Our role is to ensure that all loch users enjoy this special place together, in harmony with the natural environment and the local communities who are proud to call the National Park home.
“Unfortunately, a concerning increase in reckless behaviour presents a real risk of injury or worse. As we have previously communicated, this behaviour will not be tolerated. If it persists, we at Police Scotland will take further action to prevent this reckless behaviour and protect public safety.
“We’re grateful for the support of Police Scotland, and we strongly urge all users to enjoy the loch safely, responsibly and respectfully.”
