Loch Katrine Continued from page 14 [continued from page 14]
"A well known Lake in the Counties of Perth & Stirling beyond the great mountain chain or barrier which separates the Highlands from the Lowlands. It is about 10 miles in length and 2 in breadth. In its whole extent it is surrounded by lofty mountains: and it forms a receptacle for the hundreds of streams which, after rain, foam down their rugged sides. It discharges its water by a stream at its eastern extremity, which runs into Loch-Achray afterwards into Loch Vennachoir, and ultimately into the Forth. It is much visited by Tourists from the splendid description of it given in"Scott's Lady of the Lake".
Fullartons Gazetteer

The supply of water for the City of Glasgow and Neighbourhood is obtained from this Loch.
