Loch Shiel runs from Glenfinnan to Acharacle, a narrow loch with splendid mountain scenery. On St Finan’s Isle in the loch is a ruined chapel. Prince Charles
Edward Stewart sailed up the loch in 1745 and raised his standard at Glenfinnan.
Perhaps the most famous Scottish loch is Loch Ness, although there are other wonderful examples such as Loch Tummel, Loch Lomond and Loch Tay. The word glen is derived from the Gaelic gleann, a narrow valley, while strath is derived from the Gaelic strath, a broad valley. Glencoe is the most famous Scottish glen.
