Looking down Loch Katrine from the Glen Gyle end An autumnal view of a special place: Rob Roy country! The Glen Gyle end of Loch Katrine is steeped in history, as is the whole area. The fishing group in the boat appeared contented and the view down to Ben Venue is so good, there were many positives for me in this image. As is well known, Loch Katrine is a main source of water for the Glasgow conurbation. A natural loch, its level has been raised three times.
