Loch Skebacleit (see Plate LXXVIIL) is a very narrow loch, in shape 
like the letter T? in the district of Pairc, and a short distance east of the 
head of Loch Seaforth. The surrounding land is low, except on the south, 
where the hill rises to over 1000 feet. The body of the inverted ± runs 
north and south, the cross-stroke east and west. The length, measured in 
a straight line, is nearly IJ miles. The portion of the lake running east 
and west is 1 J miles long by one-fifth of a mile broad in the centre ; the 
portion running north and south is 1 mile long and a quarter of a mile 
broad near the north end. The southern portion forms a simple basin 
with sides sloping gently to a depth of 26 feet opposite the northern 
branch. Where this branch goes off is a marked constriction, with a depth 
of only 3 feet. For half a mile northwards the bottom is uneven, and the 
greatest depth 15 feet. The expanded north end is a small basin of greater 
depth, deepest along the west side, where the maximum of 43 feet is found 
in a narrow arm running to the north-west. The area is about 194 acres, 
the mean depth 15 feet, and the volume 128 millions of cubic feet. The 
area draining into the loch measures 7 square miles. Glen Ouirn river 
enters the east end of the loch. The Seaforth river issues from the west 
end, and, after a winding course of half a mile, enters the head of Loch 
Seaforth. The level on the date of the survey (August 12, 1903) was 
35*05 feet above sea-level. 
The temperature at the surface was 59°*0 Fahr., at 25 feet 59°*0, and 
at 40 feet 58*9°.
