The Loch Lomond Shores visitor centre and shopping complex lies just to the north of Balloch on the shores, as the name suggests, of Loch Lomond. It opened in 2002. The Drumkinnon Tower provides a welcome relief from the shopping mall behind it. Designed by one of Scotland's leading architects, David Page, the tower is meant to echo aspects of a medieval castle, albeit a circular one. It houses the Loch Lomond Aquarium Sea Life Centre. Attractions at the aquarium include touch pools, ray tanks and a tropical ocean tunnel. Its 26 displays contain mainly native Scottish species. Drumkinnon Tower also boasts a 350-seat cinema and a café.
