THE BEAULEY AND CONAN, &c. 



THE BEAULEY is formed by the junction of several 

 streams, the principal of which are the Glass, Farrar, 

 and Cannich rivers. All these have their connection 

 with lochs of considerable extent, situated in a wild 

 and little-explored district of country. The largest are 

 Lochs Affaric and Benevian, communicating with the 

 river Glass; Loch Moyley discharging itself through 

 the channel of the Cannich; and Lochs Monar and 

 Muille, which have their means of escape in Glen 

 Farrar, and cede their tribute to the main river at 

 Castle Erchless. Of these lochs, the most in repute 

 among anglers is Loch Monar, where there is an 

 excellent fishing station, and trout of good quality 

 are very abundant. At Loch Muille, Lord Lovat has 

 erected a neat shooting box. Loch Affaric abounds in 

 small trout. The finest trouting lake, however, con- 

 nected with Beauley, is situated in a more accessible 

 region. It is called Loch Bruiach, and lies somewhat 

 more than four miles due west of the parish church of 

 Kiltarity. There are found in it seven varieties of 

 trout, many of them of large size. Charr also are 

 abundant, and take the fly occasionally. Loch Gorm, 

 Lochnambrodarg, and Lochcarnabattan are all in 

 good esteem, as well as Lochgarbrad, situated about 

 a quarter of a mile from Loch Bruiach. Loch Neattie,
