Original Narrative: WEST END OF LOCH KATRINE (FROM COLBARN, OR THE GARROW OF STRONALACHAR): As we have already mentioned, the only carriage road to Loch-Katrine is by Callender, and through the Trosachs to the east end of the lake. Pedestrians, however, often visit it by a different route. Leaving Loch-Lomond at Inversned, and passing the old fort of that name, they approach Loch-Katrine near its western extremity, they then cross the loch, and walk down its northern shore till they arrive at the east end, where they enter the Trosachs. The view here given is the first sight of the lake that is obtained by the traveller, who comes by this road from Loch-Lomond. The place where it is taken is called Colbarn, and sometimes the Garrow of Stronalachar. It is two or three miles from the head of the lake. This view does not possess the picturesque or romantic interest which is exhibited by the scenery towards the eastern end of the lake; but there is a rude grandeur, a lonely sublimity about it, which inspires awe, and fills the mind with pleasing melancholy. When we look upon the utter desolateness which spreads around; the bluff headlands which project their weather-beaten fronts into the water; the noble outline of the lofty mountains; the bare and rugged rocks with which they are covered; the deep ravines that form the beds of the innumerable streams which flow down their sides; the heath-covered muirs that intervene; and the contrasted stillness and purity of the transparent lake; we feel that it is altogether highly characteristic of Highland scenery.
