Loch Lochy (Loch Lochaidh) and Loch Oich (Loch Omhaich)
of the Caledonian Canal, Scotland
1 August, 2009


  Loch Lochy (Scottish Gaelic, Loch Lochaidh) is a large freshwater loch in Lochaber, Highland, Scotland.  With a mean depth of 70 m, it is the third deepest loch of Scotland.  Lizzie, a three-humped, plesiosaur-like creature akin to the Loch Ness monster, is reputed to live in the waters of Lochy.  Located 16 kilometers southwest of Loch Ness along the Great Glen, the loch is over 15 kilometers long with an average width of about 1 kilometer.  The River Lochy flows from its southwestern end while the Caledonian Canal links its northwestern extent to Loch Oich.  The Battle of the Shirts was fought at its northern end near Laggan in July 1544, between Clan Donald and Clan Fraser.  The Stand-off at the Fords of Arkaig in September 1665 ended a 360-year feud between the Camerons and the Chattan Confederation. It took place at Achnacarry, on the isthmus between Loch Lochy and Loch Arkaig.
  Loch Oich (Scottish Gaelic: Loch Omhaich) is a freshwater loch in the Highlands of Scotland which forms part of the Caledonian Canal, of which it is the highest point.  This narrow loch lies between Loch Ness (to the Northeast) and Loch Lochy (to the Southwest) in the Great Glen.  It is fed by the River Garry (from Loch Garry) from the West, and feeds the River Oich from its North end.  The Laggan locks separate it from Loch Lochy.  The Loch Oich wildlife is rich with a wide variety of fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds end mammals.  Every autumn the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) migrates from the sea using Loch Oich, Loch Lochy and Loch Ness as their spawning nests.  After two years when the fingerling are up to 20 cm long they migrate back to the sea where they grow rapidly and weigh from 3,5 - 17 kg after two years.  (Quoted from the site of "Wikipedia")

 (Saturday 1 August) Commando Monument, located in moorland beside the A82 trunk road, 1.25 miles (2 km) northwest of Spean Bridge, South Laggan, Invergarry.
  
  This 5.1m (17-foot) high memorial was designed by Scott Sutherland, of Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art (Dundee) and unveiled by HM Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother (1900 - 2002) on 12th September 1952.  The three soldiers which comprise the memorial look out from their plinth over Leanachan Forest to the peaks of Aonach Mor and Ben Nevis.  It commemorates the elite force known as the 'Commandos,' which was set up in 1940 on the orders of Prime Minister Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965) to harry the axis forces and regain the initiative on the part of Britain.  The force trained in the area around this monument, with their Training Centre at Achnacarry, 4 miles (6 km) to the northwest.  (Quoted from the "Commando Monument" page of "The Gazetteer for Scotland")
