Original Narrative:
Loch Lochy: THIS lake lies in the district of Lochaber in Inverness-shire, and forms one of the chain of lakes which occupy a large portion of the Gleann-mhor-nan-Albin, or the Great Glen of Scotland.  This valley extends across the whole island, from the sound of Mull to the Murray firth; and, it is possible, may have been at one time entirely occupied by water. Its direction is accurately parallel to the stratification of the rocks which form the country; its highest elevation above the sea-level to the west, is about 90 feet; and its length may be computed at about 90 miles.  If the sea ever did communicate through this valley, it is obvious that the shallow parts must have gradually been raised to their present height by the gradual accumulation of gravel or alluvial deposite.  With regard to Loch Lochy and Loch Ness, this seems most probable; but it is not so certain with regard to Loch Oich.  By the junction of these lakes with each other and with the sea, at either extremity, the Caledonian canal has been formed, through which a fifty gun frigate can sail.
