HEAD OF LOCH LOMOND. 



Lomond is an enormous slieet of water, some twenty odd 

 miles long", and its principal feeder is the Arklet, whose 

 famous falls are one of Scotland's many " sights." A 

 steamer, the " Lady of the Lake," will enable fishermen to 

 vary their location in search of trout, and they will do well, 

 in times of rain fall, to cultivate the many brooks and 

 bm-ns with which the whole of this watershed is inter- 

 sected. There is excellent hotel accommodation at various 

 points about the loch, " Inversnaid " and " Ai'dlin " eom- 

 mandini^ one end, " Tarbet " and " Howardenwan " op- 

 posite sides in mid-distance, whilst " Luss " is the spot for 

 cruising" about the islands, and " Balloch " for the lower 

 extremity. Before leaving Tarbet do not omit to pay a 

 visit to Loch Long and the stream connecting it with 

 Lomond. All the ordinary Scotch flies kill well in these 

 Highland lakes, and the visitor cannot do better than put 

 himself into the hands of Mr. W, J. Cummins, of Bishop 

 Auckland, who will set him up with an assortment of the 

 best patterns. 



Within easy reach of the Inversnaid Hotel are several 

 famous sheets of water, which are now made accessible, and 

 of these the next in order is Loch Katrine.
