| LOCH LOMOND Continued | [continued from page 22] "The lake lies completely imbedded amidst different ranges of hills, At the south end, the Kilpatrick hills terminate near Kilmaronock; on the western shore are the mountains of Luss and Arrochar; at the upper extremity tower the mountains of Glenfalloch; and on the eastern shore the great chain of the Grampians terminates in Benlomond, These ranges of hills are intersected by deep glens and numerous mountain streams which pour their waters into the lake. The rivulets of Fruin, Luss, Finlass, and Duglass, with many smaller streams, drain the highlands of Dumbartonshire; but the longest river which comes into Loch Lomond is the Endrick, which flows into the south-east corner of the loch," Numerous splendid mansions with their richly wooded grounds, are studded around the shores, at the bases of the hills, or the openings of the valleys, adding the beauties of cultivation and art to those of nature, but it is the inconceivable variety afforded by the numberless projecting headlands and receding bays, and by all the crowd of fairy islands which lie scattered over the surface of the lake, which forms the distinguishing charm of the whole, and presents an inexhaustible source of pleasure and delight to the cultivated tourist," Fullarton's Gazetteer. |
