Loch KnocUe (see Plate XCI.). — A loch of moderate size and very 
irregular form, about a mile east of Loch Ness, opposite Invermoriston.

large broad bay runs off to the north-west, and there are several smaller

The superficial area is about 182 acres, or a little over a quarter of a 
square mile, and the volume of water 194 millions of cubic feet. It has 
a very limited drainage area, amounting to only about 1| square miles. 
No large stream flows into it, and a short burn carries the overflow into
