| LOCHABER | Lochaber | Speyside guide Imperial Gazetteer Statistical Account of Kilmonivaig & Kilmalie |
098 ; 140 ; 141 ; 151 | "Lochaber, the confluence of the lochs, for it embraces that remarKable line of lochs that have been united in the Caledonian Canal; Lochaber giving name to the deadly axe which is supposed to have been imitated from the weapons of the Danes; Lochaber, connected with all the stirring events of the rule and rebellion of the Lords of the Isles. Lochaber the most dreary, mountainous, and barren district in Scotland; the ultimate retreat of the wolf, the last of which fell by the hand of Lochiel in 1680. Lochaber, where the last stand was so heroically made against the boastful troops of Cromwell, Lochaber, with its gentle Lochiel, who, in opposition to his better judgement, so chivalrously rushed into rebellion to restore the house of Stuart; Lochaber the landing place of the "young Chevalier," and by a singular coincidence after his brief and checKered career, the very place from which he tooK his melancholy departure. Lochaber with its plaintive melody, expressive of a breaKing heart, which soothed a Clapperton at Loccatoo, and has on many other occassions as deeply affected the Seat, as the Ranz-des-Vaches has moved the Swiss, when on leaving his Highland home: or wandering on a foreign strand, he has heard the pipes syllabling the melancholy strains "Lochaber no more, to Lochaber no more, we'll maybe return to Lochaber no more!" Lochaber, with its sons of athletic limb and dauntless heart, with its daughters of finer form and fairer face, than e'er did Grecian chisel trace;- "we must now only taKe a passing glance at its braes and lochs, and so bring our rambles to a close."
