Légende
Loch Muick, [in Aberdeenshire, Scotland], 1850. 'The Loch is well stocked with excellent trout, and is as good a place for a day's sport in fishing as could be desired...Wild and dreary Loch Muick is, but a paradise almost compared with the wildness of the scenery surrounding the hut, which stands in a little belt of woodland, something like a park enclosure of very limited extent, and on the verge of a morass, through which the river Muick (which springs from the Loch of the same name...winds its course down the valley, solitary - alone - for here not a habitation is to be seen, save one or two poor farmhouses at the upper end near the loch...there is scarcely a sign of other vegetation, save heather and moss, wild, grand, desolate, and even sublime, a wildness and a grandeur full of poetry, and picturesque in the extreme in its solitary extent - a fit home for the bittern and the stork...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
