Man, 50, dies after being pulled from Loch Lomond

A man has died in hospital after being pulled from Loch Lomond during a major rescue operation.

Emergency crews rushed to the scene near to Ardvorlich at around 10.30pm on Saturday, July 12, after police received a report of a concern for a man.

Loch Lomond Rescue Boat (LLRB) was also called by the Scottish Ambulance Service to attend the incident on a beach between Inveruglas and Ardlui.

The 50-year-old was recovered from the water and he was taken to Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley, where he died on Sunday July 13.

Police say enquiries are ongoing into his death, though there are not thought to be any suspicious circumstances.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 10.30pm on Saturday, 12 July, 2025 we received a report of a concern for a man at Loch Lomond near to Ardvorlich.

“The 50-year-old man was recovered from water and taken to Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley where he died on Sunday, 13 July, 2025.

“His death is being treated as unexplained, but there are not thought to be any suspicious circumstances.

“Enquiries are ongoing.”

An LLRB statement read: “LLRB launched immediately and once on scene, worked along side Ambulance and Police Scotland colleagues for some considerable time.

“We remained on scene whilst some crew assisted ambulance colleagues prior to them leaving for hospital and others managed the traffic flow to ensure the scene was safe for all emergency workers.

“LLRB stood down at 00:45 and returned to base.”

The incident was among several fatal events reported across Scotland on the hottest day of the year.
