Herb Riddle's photos with the keyword: Loch Tay

Stood on the Loch’s southern end near the village of Killin. If we could see further (14 miles) we would see the northern end village of Kenmore. Our walk will take us left from here (west) for another half mile or so before returning back to the village via the banks of the River Lochay. Have a good weekend.

This Loch, only a few hundred metres from our holiday cabin in Killin seemed a wild, dark and lonely Loch. It is 14.5 miles (23.4km) long and typically 1 to 1.5 miles wide (1.6-2.4km) and is quite deep at 490ft (150mts) at its deepest. It is overlooked on one side by Ben Lawers with its six sister Monro’s (on our left side here). It's hard to believe that ancient settlers once lived on Loch Tay, inhabiting artificially created islands known as crannogs. We did attempt to drive the length along its wilder southern road (on our right) but bad weather defeated us at ¾ of its length before a hasty retreat. (Narrow single track roads with many blind summits in torrential rain is no fun!) Enjoy full screen
