Loch Awe: "Authorised & described in Name Book for Sheet 100" [Volume 52, Page 74]
["Lochawe beyond controversy is one of the noblest and loveliest of Scotland's lakes, its length is vaiously estimated, it is somewhere between 24 & 30 miles, its breadth is very unequal;, expanding in some places and contracting in others. It may be averaged at a mile, excepting towards its eastern extremity, where its principal charms and attractions lie, and where it expands into a breadth of 3 miles. Its depth varies in different places. It is in some places 70 fathoms deep" New Statistical Account Loch Awe is interspersed with numerous wooded islands, it extends from a point opposite a farmhouse called Drishaig Sheet 101 in a southwesterly direction to the village of Ford, it also sends off branch in a North-westerly direction till it meets the River Awe, which confluence occurs a few chains north of the pier at the Pass of Brander.]
Transcriber's notes
1. I have been unable to find any description for the actual place "SOUTH PORT SONACHAN"the prepopulated page had "SOUTH PORT SONACHAN" as one entry
followed by "INN [South Port Sonachan]" as a separate entry,
as the description on this page relates only to the building and not the place, I have made it back into one entry as on the original page thus
Name: "INN [South Port Sonachan]" , Various Modes of Spelling: "South Port Sonachan (Inn)"
2. On the original page there is an entry for Loch Awe referring the reader to Sheet 100, it was not included in the prepopulated entries for this page, it is listed in the Index: sheet 112 page 81, so I have included it here. Parts of Loch Awe appear on Sheets 100, 101, 112, 113, 124, 131, 132, 139. On page 74 of volume 52, which is locked, the entry for Loch Awe has "various" written in the Situation field instead of a Sheet Number.
