Katrine

Katrine, Loch, a lake in Western Perth, touching the N. of Stirling on its W. border. It stands considerably more than 300 feet above the level of the sea, and has an area of 3,119 acres. Its average breadth is about three-fourths of a mile, and it is in some places more than 350 feet deep. Between it and Loch Vennachar on the E. are the Trossachs, and at its S.E. corner rises Ben Venue, 2,393 feet in height. The lake is associated with Scott and Wordsworth, the former making it the scene of his Lady of the Lake. From Loch Katrine the city of Glasgow draws its water supply.
