WHAT DOES LOCH MORAR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Loch Morar

Loch Morar

Loch Morar is a freshwater loch in Morar, Lochaber, Highland, Scotland. It is the fifth-largest loch in Scotland, with a surface area of 26.7 km2 and the deepest freshwater body in the British Isles; with a maximum depth of 1,017 ft it is deeper than the height of The Shard in London. Loch Morar is of glacial origin with very steep sides and a length of 19 km. It contains five sizeable islands. The only road along the loch extends no more than four miles along the north shore. Both sides of the loch were inhabited along their length as late as the early 12th century. The Highland Clearances and sporting estates in place of the traditional cattle farming, led to the abandonment of all settlements on the south shore and of those on the north-east of Bracorina. Kinlochmorar, at the head of the loch, was last inhabited around 1920 and Swordland Lodge, at the midway point on the north shore and level with the deepest part of the loch, has been no more than a summer home since 1969. In common with Loch Ness, occasional reports of large unidentified creatures in the loch's waters are made. The monster has been dubbed Morag by locals.
