It abounds with pike, perch, and eels, also trout have been caught in it. Near the centre of it is a small island of a circular form which seems to have been artificial, over its whole surface is accumulation of stones resting on a frame of oak planks, and on the centre of this island is a Trigl. [Triangulation] station called by that party "Lochfoot Island". Out of the Northern side of this lake issues a small stream or burn which after flowing a short distance takes the name "Cargen Water". |
