097 | "A lake in this parish forming the summit-level of the Caledonian Canal; from which, as from a centre, it descends into the eastern and western seas it is not above four miles in length, nor more than a fourth of a mile broad. The hills on the east side are of rather an insiped character; but the scenery on the south has considerable variety and is among the finest on the line of the Canal. Here at the opening of Glengarry, where the water which gives name to the glen joins the lake, amidst lofty and beautiful woods overtopped by bold and majestic mountains are situated the ruins of the ancient Castle of Invergarry until latly the residence of the MacDonells of Glen Garry." |
