Hi Randy, Today, Loch Lomond is a small community about one mile past the Ouachita River. It is located on Louisiana Highway 2, northwest of Sterlington. Given the proximity of the modern community to Sterlington, I would think that the Loch Lomond Landing was somewhere near Sterlington. Does anyone know for sure?

The Loch Lomand landing and former community that I am familiar with is due east of Rocky Branch on the Ouachita River at the mouth of Bayou de l'Outre. I have old accounts that document its use as a crossing before the Civil War. The community of Colsons was on the north edge of what is now Rocky Branch. A sawmill was there and it is on maps up through the early 1900's. Loch Lomand would have been the closest Ouachita River landing to Colsons. Many Paces and Freemans still live in Rocky Branch (which is on Hwy. 143 about 3 miles south of its junction with Hwy. 2) and many are buried in the Rocky Branch Cemetery.
