LOCHS OF THE TAY BASIN. 
The lochs of the Tay basin were dealt with in papers published in the 
Geographical Journal in March, 1901, September and November, 1903, and 
January, 1904. Subsequently the Loch of Lindores w^as sounded. 
Loch of Lindores (see Plate CXIX.). — The Loch of Lindores lies 2 miles 
south of the Firth of Tay at Newburgh, and is nearly a mile in length 
from south-east to north-west, with a maximum breadth of nearly half 
a mile. The superficial area is about 110 acres, and the drainage area 
over 2 square miles. It is a shallow loch with a maximum depth of only 
10 feet, observed in two places, a mean depth of 5 feet, the volume of water 
being estimated at 24 million cubic feet. The loch was surveyed on April 
15, 1904, when the elevation was 221-09 feet above sea-level, as compared 
with 223*8 feet recorded by the Ordnance Survey officers on April 18, 
1893.
