V12748 Loch Katrine, Scotland As we stand here on the heathery bank of Loch Katrine, 400 feet above sea level, we catch a glimpse of one of the loveliest features the Trossachs afford. This lake is not very large - scarcely ten miles long, in fact - but, for its size, it is very deep - no less than 500 feet in some places. It is the source of Glasgow's water supply, which is conveyed by gravity through an aqueduct, and for purity and wholesomeness its water in unexcelled. Placid and clear, its water reflects as from a mirror the surrounding scenery. (Invert the stereograph and you have a double view hardly less perfect when reversed, so tranquil is its surface.) This beautiful lake is the upper reservoir of the River Teith, which flows from here through the picturesque gorge of the Trossachs, forming a junction near Callander with the overflow from Loch Lubnaig and joining the Forth northwest of Stirling. On its north side mountains rise to an altitude of 1800 feet and on the south, Ben Venue towers 2863 feet aloft, pouring numerous streamlets into the loch. That steamer would take us past Ellen's Isle, the sylvan retreat of the "Lady of the Lake," the heroine of Sir Walter Scott's romantic poem. It was on one of the hills above this lake that Sir Walter made his hero meet the highland rebel and his men;- "These are Clan Alpine's warriors true, And, Saxon, I am Roderick Dhu !" This islet seems to float in beauty on the water - a dream within a dream, "far from the madding crowd," though we are actually only about sixty miles from Edinburgh.
