ERICHT, LOCH , a lake partly in
Inverness
 -shire and partly in Perthshire,
Scotland
 , lying between the districts of Badenoch on the N. and Rannoch on the S. The boundary line is
drawn
  from a point opposite to the mouth of the Alder, and follows the centre of the longitudinal
axis
  north-eastwards to 56 50' N., where it strikes eastwards to the shore. All of the lake to the S. and E. of this line belongs to Perthshire, the rest, forming the major portion, to
Inverness
 -shire. It is a lonely lake, situated in extremely wild surroundings at a height of 1153 ft. above the sea, being thus the loftiest lake of large size in the United Kingdom. It is over 14z M. long, with a mean breadth of half a mile and over 1 m. at its maximum. Its area amounts to some 71 sq. m., and it receives the drainage of an area of nearly 50
sq. m. The mean depth is 189 ft., and the maximum 512 ft. It has a general trend from N.E. to S.W., the head lying 1 m. from Dalwhinnie station on the Highland railway. It receives many streams, and discharges at the
south
 -western extremity by the Ericht. Salmon and trout afford good fishing. The surrounding mountains are lofty and rugged. Ben Alder (3757 ft.) on the west shore is the
chief
  feature of the
great
  Corrour
-ERIDANUS
deer forest. The onlypoint of
interest
  on the banks is the cavern, near the mouth of the Alder, in which Prince Charles
Edward
  concealed himself for a time after the battle of Culloden.
