004 | [A large loch on the farm of Polmoodie surrounded on three sides by steep perpendicular hills] A singular wild and gloomy sheet of water surrounded by a savage moorland scenery, which impress the Mind with a sensation of almost painful solitariness that may be imagined, but cannot be well described. It is nearly 1 Mile long and nearly 1/2 mile in breadth, its waters contain two kinds of trout. It is much resorted in Summer by Ladies and Gents. Sir Walter Scott has written some lines on the beauty and scenery of this wild district. Also other such Bards. |
