At
the
opening
of
the
pass
we
climbed
up
a
low
eminence,
and
had
an
unexpected
prospect
suddenly
before
us--another
lake,
small
compared
with
Loch
Ketterine,
though
perhaps
four
miles
long,
but
the
misty
air
concealed
the
end
of
it.
The
transition
from
the
solitary
wildness
of
Loch
Ketterine
and
the
narrow
valley
or
pass
to
this
scene
was
very
delightful:
it
was
a
gentle
place,
with
lovely
open
bays,
one
small
island,
corn
fields,
woods,
and
a
group
of
cottages.
This
vale
seemed
to
have
been
made
to
be
tributary
to
the
comforts
of
man,
Loch
Ketterine
for
the
lonely
delight
of
Nature,
and
kind
spirits
delighting
in
beauty.
The
sky
was
grey
and
heavy,--floating
mists
on
the
hill-sides,
which
softened
the
objects,
and
where
we
lost
sight
of
the
lake
it
appeared
so
near
to
the
sky
that
they
almost
touched
one
another,
giving
a
visionary
beauty
to
the
prospect.
While
we
overlooked
this
quiet
scene
we
could
hear
the
stream
rumbling
among
the
rocks
between
the
lakes,
but
the
mists
concealed
any
glimpse
of
it
which
we
might
have
had.
This
small
lake
is
called
Loch
Achray.
