AWE, LOCH

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 67 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AUD-BAI
AWE, LOCH , the longest
freshwater
  lake in
Scotland
 , situated in mid-
Argyllshire
 , 116 ft. above the sea, with an area of nearly 16 sq. m. It has a N.E. to S.W. direction and is fully 23 M.
long
  from Kilchurn Castle to Ford, its breadth varying from a of a mile to 3 M. at its upper end, where it takes the shape of a
crescent
 , one arm of which runs towards Glen Orchy, the other to the point where the river Awe leaves the lake. The two ends of the loch are wholly dissimilar in
character
 , the scenery of the upper extremity being majestic, while that of the lower half is
pastoral
  and tame. Of its numerous islands the best-known is Inishail, containing ruins of a church and convent, which was suppressed at the Reformation. At the extreme north-eastern end of the lake, on an islet which, when the water is low, becomes
part
  of the mainland, stand the imposing ruins of Kilchurn Castle. Its romantic surroundings have made this castle a favourite subject of the landscape painter. Dalmally, about 2 M. from the loch, is one of the pleasantest villages in the High-lands and has a
great
  vogue in midsummer. The river Awe, issuing from the north-western horn of the loch, affords excellent trout and salmon fishing.
