Loch Ericht - a Bright Night, by A. Gilbert - from the last Winter Exhibition, 1864. Engraving of a painting. 'Loch Ericht, or Erochd, though either not mentioned at all, or scarcely alluded to, in the ordinary tourists' handbooks for Scotland, is shown to possess sufficient attractions for the painter...it is a lake of considerable extent...the northern and longer portion lying in Perthshire, and the southern and shorter portion in the county of Inverness. Its waters are emptied into Loch Rannoch, which lies about five miles to the south, whence they flow through Loch Tummel into the River Tay. One reason why the lake is not a favourite with tourists and the compilers of guides for their use is its comparative inaccessibility. There is no road to Loch Ericht. It may most easily be visited at its southern extremity either from the head of Loch Rannoch, to which there is a road along that lake; or from the inn at Dalnacardoch, on the great north road. In either case, however...a weary extent of bog, muir, moss and mountain has to be traversed'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
