Loch Coruisk

Loch Coruisk is an inland fresh-water loch, lying at the foot of the Black Cuillin. Loch Coruisk is reputed to be the home of a water horse.

Sir Walter Scott visited the loch in 1814 and described it vividly:

“Rarely human eye has known

A scene so stern as that dread lake,

With its dark ledge of barren stone…”

Lord Tennyson reported more prosaically:

“Loch Coruisk, said to be the wildest scene in the Highlands, I failed in seeing. After a fatiguing expedition over the roughest ground on a wet day we arrived at the banks of the loch, and made acquaintance with the extremest tiptoes of the hills, all else being thick wool-white fog.”
