GRANT WILSON, H.M. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. (Read before the Royal Society, Edinburgh, Feb. 20, 1888. Communicated by permission of the Director-General.) SITUATED within the Highlands of Perthshire are numerous fresh-water lochs, each surrounded with its own peculiar type of scenery. Not- withstanding this diversity, there are certain broad features which are common to them all, ,~nd suggest that the same agencies have been at work 252 BATHYMETRICAL SURVEY OF THE CHIEF PERTHSHIRE LOCI:IS in each case. During the progress of the Geological Survey in this part of the country four of these have been sounded, and the results obtained show the close connection that exists between the configuration of the various rock basins, and the glaciation of the district in which they are situated. The general trend of the chief Perthshire valley is from west to east, and these are in turn intersected by the transverse valley running south-east from the head of the Garry to Dunkeld. The river Tay belongs to both these systems; the upper portion flowing in an easterly direction from the head of Glen Dochart to Ballinluig, thence along the transverse valley in a south-east direction by Dunkeld to Perth. At Ballinluig the Tay receives the outflow from Loehs Rannoch and Tummel, while the surplus water of Loch Earn passes through Strath Earn, and joins the estuary a little to the west of Newburgh. In surveying these various loehs the system adopted was to take a series of soundings (50-80 yards apart) along parallel lines from one side of the lake to the other. These parallel lines were fixed at intervals of about a quarter of a mile, and the observations were checked by other soundings taken in lines extending diagonally across several of the former. A steam launch was employed on Loch Tay, while for the other lakes an ordinary rowing boat proved sufficient. LOCH RANNOCH.--This sheet of water, 9~ miles in length and having a mean breath of ~ of a mile, lies to the east of the Moor of Rannoch and at an elevation of 667"5 feet. This moor is a wild expanse of peat-moss and heather, and over its surface are scattered numerous small lakes and lochans which all drain into Loeh Rannoch. From the east shore of the loch the bottom descends very steeply, and at one point midway between Altruigh and Curie the greatest depth of 70 fathoms was obtained. Here the loch is a mile broad, and the depth of 70 fathoms is 16 of a mile from the east end--giving an average grade for the central plane of 1 in 22. From the deepest point to where the 10-fathom contour-line crosses the loch opposite Killiehonan, the central plane rises with tolerable re- gularity to the west with an average grade of 1 in 88. Between the 50 and 60 fathoms contour-lines the grade is 1 in 30, but this rise only continues for a short distance. At Carie, Aulieh, Killiehonan, and Crosseraig four large burns flow into the ]och, and the stony detritus borne down by these has in each case formed a large cone of alluvium that projects for a considerable distance into the lake. As might be Downloaded by [University of Ulster Library] at 02:09 12 January 2015 expected, the depth of the lake suddenly increases along the face of these cones, each resembling the tip end of a railway bank. Several measure- ments showed their angle of slope to be considerably in excess of 20 ° . ]n the deep water only two small banks have been discovered : one lies opposite the mouth of Dull burn, near to the north side and 29 fathoms from the surface, while the other is situated in the middle of the loch, to the north of Crosseraig, in 16½ fathoms of water. The general transverse section of this loeh is in the form of a V, the bottom sloping down from the one side till the maximum depth is reached, and then immediately rising towards the opposite shore. The only exception to this is the small area to the south-west of the Killichonan burn, where the bottom AND THEIR RELATION TO THE GLACIATION OF THAT DISTRICT. 253 is very flat--but this may in part be due to the silting up now in progress at this end. To the south of the Tower Island the water is very shallow, the main channel passing to the north of the island with an average depth of 8 fathoms. Between the mouth of the Erieht and Rannoeh Lodge there is a small depression to the extent of 13½ fathoms at its deepest point. From Kinloch-Rannoch to Aulich the north side of the basin shows a steep gradient towards the centre, becoming less steep to the west of Aulieh. The same steep gradient also prevails along the south shore as far as Dall, but between Altruigh and Carie a belt of shallow water, about 150 yards in breadth, lies between this sharp descent and the margin of the lake. In almost every case where the sounding-line brought up a sample of the bottom, it was found to consist of a very fine brown vegetable mud through which were scattered small particles of white mica. In the shallow water to the east and west of Killichonan this mud was often of a rusty brown colour, due to the presence of a small quantity of iron, and from the Tower Island to the mouth of the river Ericht the bottom was almost entirely composed of fine sand. The west end of this loch is slowly silting up by the deposition of sediment. But this is necessarily a very slow process. The two main feeders at this end, the Ericht and the Ghaoir, respectively drain Lochs Ericht and Laidon a few miles distant.

  • Radiocarbon Dating of the Crannogs of Loch Tay, Perthshire (Scotland)

    Radiocarbon Dating of the Crannogs of Loch Tay, Perthshire (Scotland)

    RADIOCARBON, Vol 49, Nr 2, 2007, ρ 673-684 © 2007 by the Arizona Board of Regents on behalf of the University of Arizona RADIOCARBON DATING OF THE CRANNOGS OF LOCH TAY, PERTHSHIRE (SCOTLAND) Τ Ν Dixon1 · G Τ Cook2 · B Andrian3 · L S Garety2 · N Russell2 · T Menard2 ABSTRACT. Crannogs are ancient artificial islands found in Scotland and Ireland, which typically had some sort of dwelling place constructed on them that served variously as farmers' homesteads, status symbols, refuges in times of trouble, hunting and fishing stations, etc. Substantial research has been carried out for similar sites in mainland Europe, which has demon- strated that they were lakeside settlements, mostly dating to the Neolithic period and not built over open water. In contrast, the Scottish and Irish sites were built in open water, clearly separate from the shore. In Perthshire, some prehistoric crannogs were originally timber-built roundhouses supported on piles or stilts driven into the loch bed. Today, these crannogs appear as tree- covered islands or remain hidden as submerged stony mounds. Until recently, there were few radiocarbon dates for these structures and so the sites appeared as a homogeneous group. Not only did this make it impossible to examine them in sub- groupings but it also inhibited research, as they did not fit into known periods or architecturally distinct sub-groups, except that they were surrounded by water. Recent work in Loch Tay has resulted in ,4C dating of the timber piles from 13 of the 18 crannogs in the loch, allowing them to be fitted into different classes.
  • The River Tay - Its Silvery Waters Forever Linked to the Picts and Scots of Clan Macnaughton

    The River Tay - Its Silvery Waters Forever Linked to the Picts and Scots of Clan Macnaughton

    THE RIVER TAY - ITS SILVERY WATERS FOREVER LINKED TO THE PICTS AND SCOTS OF CLAN MACNAUGHTON By James Macnaughton On a fine spring day back in the 1980’s three figures trudged steadily up the long climb from Glen Lochy towards their goal, the majestic peak of Ben Lui (3,708 ft.) The final arête, still deep in snow, became much more interesting as it narrowed with an overhanging cornice. Far below to the West could be seen the former Clan Macnaughton lands of Glen Fyne and Glen Shira and the two big Lochs - Fyne and Awe, the sites of Fraoch Eilean and Dunderave Castle. Pointing this out, James the father commented to his teenage sons Patrick and James, that maybe as they got older the history of the Clan would interest them as much as it did him. He told them that the land to the West was called Dalriada in ancient times, the Kingdom settled by the Scots from Ireland around 500AD, and that stretching to the East, beyond the impressively precipitous Eastern corrie of Ben Lui, was Breadalbane - or upland of Alba - part of the home of the Picts, four of whose Kings had been called Nechtan, and thus were our ancestors as Sons of Nechtan (Macnaughton). Although admiring the spectacular views, the lads were much more keen to reach the summit cairn and to stop for a sandwich and some hot coffee. Keeping his thoughts to himself to avoid boring the youngsters, and smiling as they yelled “Fraoch Eilean”! while hurtling down the scree slopes (at least they remembered something of the Clan history!), Macnaughton senior gazed down to the source of the mighty River Tay, Scotland’s biggest river, and, as he descended the mountain at a more measured pace than his sons, his thoughts turned to a consideration of the massive influence this ancient river must have had on all those who travelled along it or lived beside it over the millennia.

    Highland Perthshire Through the Archive

    A Guide to the History and Culture of Highland Perthshire through the Archive Dick Fotheringham, bell ringer in the Aberfeldy area, c1930s Ref: MS316/31 Perth & Kinross Council Archive 1 Foreword While I have been a member of the Friends of Perth & Kinross Council Archive for some time I only became a Committee member last year. Thus my being asked to become the chair of the Committee at this year’s AGM was, from my perspective, rather rapid promotion! Now I have been given the great honour of writing this foreword to the Friends’ latest publication, a survey and guide to sources of information on every aspect of life in Highland Perthshire as encapsulated in the collections of the Archive. In it you will find a comprehensive overview of the huge range of collections relevant to this topic including history, genealogy, industry, settlements, estates and anything else you may be interested in. Some of the material is “official”, like local authority documents, police and Justice of the Peace records. However, there is also guidance on exploring community-based collections put together by local people who were determined their “story” would live on and be accessible to anyone who was interested. There are also many illustrations of documents of different types with informative notes beside each one. These are, of course, merely a glimpse of the rich and varied sources which exist and can be explored with the help of the staff of the Archive. A feature which we hope will be seen as innovative, and was the brainchild of the authors, is a specimen analysis of a document which is designed to show you what you can learn from it whether you are a family, house or local historian, or just interested in maximising the information that a document can provide.
