063 | A fresh-water lake, an expansion of the Lunan Burn, there is a Small island in it on which is an ancient Castle. property of the Earl of Earlie. "Loch of Clunie, Is approached on the east. It differs completely from the preceding ones, being surrounded by hills of moderate elevation, and offering, therefore, no Alpine features. But in its own character it is very pleasing, and, from one or two points, not unfitted for a picture. It is two and a half miles in circumference, and in some parts eighty-four feet in depth. The extent being inconsiderable, and the margin generally surrounded by ornamental grounds, the whole has somewhat the appearance of an artificial lake; if ever such a work could be so large, or so well disposed. The air of intended ornament and apparent art is also increased by the beautiful little Island on which there is an Old Castle, nearly as large as the island itself. The Island is supposed to be at least partly artificial, but there is no tradition as to when it was so formed." Dunkeld, its Straths & Glens The whole of this lake is in the parish of Clunie. the greater part of its Southern edge forming the boundary between that parish and the parish of Caputh. |
