Description: | View of Loch Lomond in Scotland. The loch is the largest area of fresh water in the British Isles and is shaped like an elongated triangle, with a narrow and deep northern half, with a maximum breadth of 1.5 km, and a wide and relatively shallow southern end, which at its widest point it is 6.8 km. Loch Lomond is perhaps most famously associated with Robert Macgregor – Rob Roy –who with his family, raided the lands around the loch. The authors Walter Scott and Daniel Defoe used the wild landscape of Loch Lomond to romanticise the hero’s adventures. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Publisher: | Boydell & Co. | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Riddell, Robert Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
