The loch itself is a very fine sheet of water, of considerable 

 frxtent, and the stream fishing is everywhere excellent in 

 thi? little fished watershed. From Ballachulish the coach 

 drive through the glen extends to a distance of thirtj' miles, 

 and all this is over historical ground, for is it not the home 

 of the once mighty clan of the Macdonalds ? 



The angler will do well to break his journey at various 

 stages, where accommodation is obtainable, commencing at 

 the entrance of the glen, where there is a very comfortable 

 little hotel, and then following the course of tKe river 

 through the sublime solitudes of this beautiful glen. There 

 IS a capital hotel — the King's House — at the further end 

 of the pass, and there is excellent trout fishing close at 

 hand.
