Descriptive Gazetteer Entry for Lochy

Lochy, a small river of Breadalbane district, W Perthshire, rising at an altitude of 2050 feet, and curving 17½ miles east-north-eastward, till, after a total descent of 1690 feet, it falls, near Killin village, into the Dochart, ½ mile above the influx of the latter to Loch Tay. It forms, 2¾ miles NW of Killin, a series of six cataracts in two groups, with a deep round pool between. Higher than this salmon cannot ascend; but capital trout fishing may be had all up Glenlochy.—Ord. Sur., sh. 46, 1872.
