LOCH KATRIXE. 



The fishing in this beautiful loch is limited to trout, 

 which is free, the charge for boat and man being 5s. per 

 day. The Trossachs Hotel is the best house to command 

 this queen of Scottish lakes ; also lochs Achray and Yen- 

 nachar. There are no boats upon the last-named water. 

 There is another little lake, connected by a stream with 

 Vennachar, which will well repay the trouble of getting at 

 it. I refer to Drunkie, which contains remarkably good 

 trout, both in size and quality. 



As to the natural beauties of Katrine, it would be im- 

 possible for me to do them justice; but, by common con- 

 sent, this loch is admitted to have no equal in the United 

 Kingdom.
