| LOCHABER | Lochaber | Imperial Gazetteer | 098 ; 140 ; 141 ; 151 | "Lochaber a district in the south of the mainland of Inverness shire. It is bounded by Perthshire and Argyleshire, and by the Great Glen and Badenoch. Its length south westward is 33 miles; and its greatest breadth is 21 miles. Loch Lochy, Loch Eil, Loch Linnhe Loch Leven, and the river Leven, form the greater part of its boundary. The foot of Loch Laggan also is on its bouondary. The word 'aber' eleswhere in Scotland applies to the confluence of streams but here it seems to apply to the confluence of lochs. Hence the name Lochaber. This district is one of the most characteristically highland in the Kingdom, for at once the altitude of its mountains, the depth of its glens, the wildness of its surface, and the Sublimity of its Scenery. The greater part of it is identical with either the south east flanK of the Great Glen, Glenroy, Glenspean, Glentreig, Ben Nevis or the Glen of Loch Leven. This district belongs parochially to Kilmonavaig and Kilmallie and the details of it have already been noticed in out articles on these parishes. The last wolf in Great Britain was slain in Lochaber in 1680 by Sir E Cameron of Locheil". Imperial Gazetteer |
