Download or read book The Ecology of Scotland s Largest Lochs written by Peter S. Maitland and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scotland is fortunate in being very richly endowed with natural fresh waters in the form of numerous lochs and rivers. These constitute on the one hand an attractive feature of the landscape and on the other a major resource for industry and recreation. Thus there are about 3800 lochs over4 ha in area and these form approximately 1.0% of the total surface area of Scotland. Com parable figures for England and Wales are 1700 lakes and 0.05% of the land surface, and in terms of volume. Loch Ness contains more water than all the lakes and reservoirs in England and Wales put together (Smith & Lyle 1979). Many of the Scottish lochs are large and clean and consequently are particularly valuable in resource terms. The decision as to which are actually the largest lochs is debatable, particularly when the main criteria of greatest surface area, length, volume and depth each gives a different water (Lochs Lomond. Awe, Ness and Morar respectively). These four then are certainly among the largest lochs in the country, but close to them in size come several other large waters, among which is Loch Shiel- which is exceeded in length only by Lochs Awe, Ness and Lomond. These five very large lochs (Frontis piece) form the group of waters selected for the comparative studies described in this volume.

Download or read book Whisky Kilts and the Loch Ness Monster written by William W. Starr and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2012-06-05 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A celebration of Scottish life and spirited endorsement of the unexpected discoveries to be made through good travel and good literature. Whisky, Kilts, and the Loch Ness Monster is a memoir of a twenty-first-century literary pilgrimage to retrace the famous eighteenth-century Scottish journey of James Boswell and Samuel Johnson, two of the most celebrated writers of their day. An accomplished journalist and aficionado of fine literature, William W. Starr enlivens this crisply written travelogue with a playful wit, an enthusiasm for all things Scottish, the boon and burden of American sensibility, and an ardent appreciation for Boswell and Johnson—who make frequent cameos throughout these ramblings. In 1773 the sixty-three-year-old Johnson was England's preeminent man of letters, and Boswell, some thirty years Johnson's junior, was on the cusp of achieving his own literary celebrity. For more than one hundred days, the distinguished duo toured what was then largely unknown Scottish terrain, later publishing their impressions of the trip in a pair of classic journals. In 2007 Starr embarked on a three-thousand-mile trek through the Scottish Lowlands and Highlands, following the path—though in reverse—of Boswell and Johnson. Starr tracked their route as closely as the threat of storms, distractions of pubs, and limitations of time would allow. Like his literary forebears, he recorded a wealth of keen observations on his encounters with places and people, lochs and lore, castles and clans, fables and foibles. Starr couples his contemporary commentary with passages from Boswell's and Johnson's published accounts, letters, and diaries to weave together a cohesive travel guide to the Scotland of yore and today, comparing reflections from two centuries ago to his own modern-day perspectives. The tour begins and ends in Edinburgh and includes along the way visits to Glasgow, Inverness, Loch Ness, Culloden, Auchinleck, the Isles of Iona and Skye, and many more destinations. In addition Starr expands his course to include two of the farthest reaches of Scotland where eighteenth-century travelers dared not tread: the Outer Hebrides and the Orkney Islands, remarkable regions shaped by distinctive weather, history, and isolation. Blending biography, intellectual and cultural history, and comic asides into his travelogue, Starr crafts an inviting vantage point from which to view aspects of Scotland's storied past and complex present through an illuminating literary lens. The well-read globetrotter and the armchair adventurer will each benefit from this compendium of fascinating revelations about Scotland's colorful, volatile heritage; its embrace of myth and legends; its flirtations with both tradition and commercialization; and its legacy as more than a source of single malts, bagpipes, and kilted genealogies.

Excerpt: ...sojourn in his house, I never saw it or heard it displayed to any person whatever. I am not sure that he could as truthfully return me the compliment. My original intention was to remain at this place about a week, but I was unavoidably detained here for a considerable time. I received letters soon after my arrival, which rendered it imperative that I should stay until I received fresh postal communication, which is a work of time here, as the mail only runs twice a week. Two or three days after our arrival at Aultnacalgach, Mr. Metcalfe walked with me to Loch Urigil; that is to say, we crossed Loch Borlan in the boat which we left on the opposite side to await our return; and from this point we performed a most tedious mile on foot. After leaving Loch. Borlan, we ascended for a short time a 126 LOCH BORLAN AND LOCH URIGIL. moderate elevation, from the summit of which both lakes can be seen. From this point our road was chiefly a matter of descent. The whole route from Loch Borlan is extremely irksome, although the distance is but short, and there is no steep brae to climb; at the same time there are a variety of impediments to quick and easy walking. Heather is far less troublesome than the soft mossy ground and small swamps, to say nothing of innumerable wide dykes of eighteen or twenty feet in depth, at the bottom of which is a stagnant water of the same dark colour as its banks. The whole of this tract of land, as well as many others in this district, is composed of peat moss, which is in many places from twelve to fourteen feet and more in depth. No person can perform this course dry shod, even at the hottest period of drought; and the heavy rain of Monday had so increased the usual amount of moisture that we were walking sometimes...
