TARBERT AND LOCH FYNE.
The East and West Tarbert Lochs nearly meet to sever the peninsula of Kintyre from the mainland; so nearly, that a short canal to do so has been proposed. At the head of the Eastern loch, seen in the view as it opens into Loch Fyne, stands Tarbert, the word signifying such a narrow strip of land as allows of a boat being drawn across from sea to sea. It is the centre of the Loch Fyne herring fishery, and one of the stations or piers for the noble pleasure-steamers which ply from the Clyde through the Kyles of Bute to Inveraray. Loch Fyne is nearly forty miles in length. On the hill will be seen the ruin of an old castle, supposed to be of the fourteenth century, which has been the dwelling-place of Robert Bruce and James II.
