"South of Craig Dhereag about ½ a mile & in a moor considerably higher than the country south of it, is Loch Rusky, about a mile in circumference having a Small island, on which are the ruins of a house, traditionally assigned to that noted Sir John Monteith of Rusky, by whom the patriot Sir W. Wallace was apprehended." "New Stat [Statistical] Account" |
