Soon after entering the lake, we came off the house of Achnacarry, the mansion of Lochiel, on the northern side.  The mountains on the south side extended nearly the whole distance of the lake without any break, while those on the other are rent by numerous gullies.  The ground, though covered with heather, had few trees to ornament it.  We were quite sorry when, in about an hour and a half, we had again to enter the canal, which quickly carried us into the small, pretty Loch Oich.  We passed two or three islets decked with trees, which greatly embellish them.  On the north side the mountains of Glengarry shot up in a succession of high and bold peaks.  Below them is the castle of Invergarry, standing on a rock overlooking the waters of the loch.
