waterfall on the Lochay about three miles from its 

 junction with the Dochart. 



Loch Tay, sixteen miles in length, contains fine 

 large trout of six and seven pounds weight, as well 

 as salmon, pike, and charr. This sheet of water is 

 of great depth in many parts. The Lyon river 

 enters the Tay at the east end of the loch, and has a 

 run of forty miles. It is a capital fishing stream for 

 both salmon and trout. 



The Tummel is an important water, and runs 

 through a wild and interesting part of the country. 

 It rises in the moor of Rannoch, and is for some 

 distance called the Gauer. About eight or ten 

 miles down, it swells to a good sized stream, where 

 there is excellent rod-fishing. It passes through 

 Loch Batha and Loch Lydoch. In this locality the 

 scenery around is wild and imposing. The trout here 

 run small. 



In the vicinity of Loch Lydoch, the Ericht river 

 joins the waters of the Tummel. This stream springs 

 from several lakes in the vicinity and is full sixteen 

 miles in length. There are good sized trout in all 

 these waters ; and to those who like the dreary and 

 sterile landscapes, they can have their fancy gratified 

 to the full. The whole country for miles round 

 has the most inhospitable aspect imaginable. 



Loch Tummel contains large trout, and the ang- 

 ling is very good in it. The falls of the Tummel are 

 about four miles below the loch ; they are nearly 

 twenty feet in height, but salmon have been known
