A considerable and er irregularly Shaped lake in the northern and wildest part of Minnigaff parish, At the eastern base of the 'Merrick' It is supplied by a few very Small Streams An springs within itself And empties its Surplus water at its most northern point (called 'Sluice of Loch Enoch' ) into 'Eglin Lane' The view from the margin of this lake is quite contracted and as cold, bleak, and barren in appearance as might be imagined Nothing can be seen but a Series of rocky granite mountains one towering above another in point of view. Anglers undergo laborious travel when visiting this lake but they generally find themselves amply repaid by the trout which they take in it, these are mostly of a large And Some of an extraordinary Size And of excellent quality. It is greatly indented in its edges, these indentations forming many miniature bays and promontories, its beach being a sort of beautifully white flinty sand. In it are also a great many islands (none having a name) the largest of which is rather a natural Curiosity by its having a Small pool or lake in it. The Authorities here given State that there is a tradition in the locality that from this pool being in the island, the original or Ancient name of this lake was 'Loch in Loch' but it is now known by no other name than 'Loch Enoch' |
