Loch Katrine

Loch Katrine is a large, beauteous freshwater loch in Perthshire (and trespassing a little into Stirlingshire). It is roughly eight miles long by two thirds of a mile wide and runs the length of Strath Gartney.

The loch is in the south of the Highlands, accessible from the cities, for which reason, and for the beauty of the loch and its surroundings, Loch Katrine is a popular destination for visitors.

Loch Katrine is the fictional setting of Sir Walter Scott's poem The Lady of the Lake and of Rossini's opera, La donna del lago. (Read more)
