First glimpse of Loch Morar
First glimpse of Loch Morar
Crossing from Loch Arkaig to Loch Morar by Glen Pean this is the welcome first glance of Loch Morar once having passed over the watershed at the boulder field.
Loch Morar, 11 miles in length with a depth of 1,077 feet ,is Scotland's deepest loch and said to be the home of a monster, Morag. Indeed Sir Compton MacKenzie wrote an amusing novel entitled, 'The Rival Monster'.
Bonnie Prince Charlie escaped through this glen on the 18th April 1746.
